Temple vs. SMU updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Friday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Temple vs. SMU football game
Temple will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. They will take on the SMU Mustangs at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday. Temple is limping into the contest on a four-game losing streak.
Temple traveled a rocky road last season, and unfortunately for them the road hasn't gotten any smoother. It's going to take some time for them to recover from the 45-14 bruising that North Texas dished out on Saturday.
Darvon Hubbard put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown.
Even if they lost, Temple's defensive line still kept up the pressure with four sacks. Leading the way was Diwun Black and his two sacks.
The Owls weren't very productive in the air and finished the game with only 105 passing yards. They were dismantled by their opponents in that department as North Texas passed for 307.
Meanwhile, the third road matchup was the charm for SMU, as they earned their first road win of the season. They were the clear victor by a 31-10 margin over East Carolina. The result was nothing new for SMU, who have now won three matches by 21 points or more so far this season.
Preston Stone looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 276 yards and three touchdowns. Jonathan McGill got in on the action as well, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Temple's defeat was their eighth straight on the road (dating back to last season), which dropped their overall record down to 2-5. That poor showing could be blamed on the team's lackluster offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 14.88 points per game. SMU has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season.
