Army vs Temple

Army West Point marched into Lincoln Financial Field and escaped with a hard-fought 21-17 victory over Temple in an American Conference showdown. The Black Knights' ground-and-pound attack proved just enough to outlast the Owls in a defensive struggle that came down to the wire in Philadelphia. Temple battled fiercely on their home turf, making Army earn every yard over 157 plays of grinding football. The Owls kept it close throughout, but couldn't find the final punch needed to overcome the Black Knights' disciplined offensive attack. Army's ability to control the clock and protect their slim lead in the fourth quarter made the difference in this conference clash.
