Security guard punches Houston fan running on field

Houston (17 AP/18 Coaches) improves to 12-1, winning its first conference title since nabbing the top spot in Conference USA in 2006.

“We are all going for one goal”, Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr. said in a pregame press conference. Houston’s upset loss to CT two weeks ago prevented it from going undefeated and perhaps giving the playoff selection committee a headache, but with three ranked teams and Houston likely head to a major bowl, it’s been a stellar season for the young league. That experience will be valuable in having his team prepared and keeping them grounded on game day, as the Cougars will look to make a splash on the national scene. In the receiving end, DeMarcus Ayers had 161 yards and one touchdown in eight receptions while Linell Bonner added 92 yards and two touchdowns. He passed Henry Burris for the honor. The Owls allow a league-best 18.8 points per game.

Temple (10-2) has not won a championship of any kind in the past 48 years.

It took the Cougars 10 plays to drive the short distance. Check below for the Temple Houston game TV details and how to watch Houston vs Temple live free streaming as well.

Temple’s star senior linebacker Tyler Matakevich is proud of the turnaround the program has made in just two seasons.

Heading into halftime, Temple trailed 17-3.

Temple got on the scoreboard when Jones kicked a 40-yard field with 1:46 remaining in the half. The kick also notched his 100th point as an Owl, passing former Temple great, Brandon McManus.

Temple’s defense hasn’t exhausted in the fourth quarter all year. Houston played host to the Owls.

Ward made a mockery of that plan by accounting for 236 yards and two touchdowns. Walker to Robby Anderson 13 yards out to give them some life.

Temple and Houston play for the inaugural American Athletic Conference championship on Saturday in Houston – and a lot more.

Up 7-0 to start the second quarter, Houston continued to string drives together and pick apart Temple’s defense, including a 24 yard field goal. The first one came when he grabbed an 11-yard reception with one hand and the second one was a 14-yard gain that came after the ball was deflected by a Houston defender. Roberts got in on the play again for Houston by forcing the fumble.
