Houston Cougars and Temple Owls football game today TV channel live stream

Today the Owls could be the American Athletic Conference Champions if they pull off a win against Houston.

33 – The number of touchdowns that Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. has accounted for this season.

The Houston Cougars win the first-ever American Athletic Conference Title, with a 24-13 victory over the Temple Owls at TDECU Stadium.

On a second-down play from the Owls’ 47-yard line, Ward eluded three defenders to break the Cougars’ longest rushing touchdown of the season. Temple will look to replicate UConn’s performance to come out on top. Thomas returned to midseason form last week, carrying the ball 20 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns, but has been banged up lately.

Ward raved about Herman and his staff.

With Herman agreeing to a new five-year deal to remain head coach of the Cougars, this feels like just the beginning of something special in Houston.

Arkansas State 55, Texas State 17: Fredi Knighten threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead the Red Wolves (9-3, 8-0) to the Sun Belt title, defeating the Bobcats (3-9, 2-6) at Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Early in the third quarter, Temple had a fourth and 4 from the Houston 31, but Walker threw an incompletion after having his pass tipped by 6-foot-6, 270-pound defensive end Cameron Malveaux. Twice within the last four minutes, they wasted more precious time on running plays up the middle.

“You have to contain him, but have to keep him in the pocket”, Temple coach Matt Rhule told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “This is one of the most positive days in Temple football history”. “I wish we would have won it. Disappointed? Yes”. Matakevich is the only player in FBS to lead his team in tackles in every game this season.

With the win, Houston claimed their first conference championship since 2006 and only their second 12-win season ever, the first since 2011.

“It’s not going to be hard to get ready for the bowl game”, Anderson said. The UH quarterback rushed for 148 yards on 17 carries. Ward meantime has 81 yards passing, no touchdowns.

“He’s a playmaker”, Herman said. “We had a couple plays get away from us”. On the Owls’ first possession of the frame, Walker completed a 41-yard pass to Anderson down to the Houston 35-yard line.

Houston is ranked number nineteen in the nation thanks to a 11-1 record for the 2015 season.

Ward’s second touchdown came on a 10-yard run that made it 24-3 with less than seven minutes left in the third quarter.
