The Owls had a record-breaking day in the backfield and a bounce-back performance on defense, with running back Joquez Smith and linebacker Diwun Black leading the way.
Temple’s start to the 2023 season was not the prettiest. Through two games, the offense averaged only 15.5 points per game and the defense struggled to put together a full 60 minutes of football.Thanks to a 532-yard showing on offense and complete performance on defense, the Owls defeated the Norfolk State Spartans, 41-9, Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field for their second win of the season.
Smith was effective in the passing game as well, taking his only reception for a touchdown. Smith is the first Temple player with a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game since Davis against Bucknell in the 2019 season opener. The Temple defense also recovered after Drayton said on multiple occasions that they had yet to play a complete game. The Owls shut down the Spartans and allowed only 217 total yards.
