TEMPLE-OHIO— THE SERIES
Despite the fact that Temple has sponsored football since 1894 and Ohio has fielded a gridiron team since 1894, Tuesday's contest is just the teams' fourth meeting. The teams have yet to play a football game on a Saturday.
In the game that determined the MAC East champion in 2009, Ohio claimed a 35-17 win at home, televised nationally on ESPNU. Freshman RB?Matt Brown led the Owls with 172 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. Theo Scott was the top Bobcat rusher with 69 yards and two TDs on six carries, while QB Theo Scott threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns.
In 2008 at Lincoln Financial Field, Temple evened the series with a 14-10 home win during its “Pink Out,” benefiting breast cancer awareness, before a national television audience on ESPN2. The rollercoaster fourth quarter was complete with big plays and costly mistakes on both sides, including two Cherry and White touchdowns in the come-from-behind victory.
The Owls' offense struggled mightily through three quarters in the return of redshirt senior QB Adam DiMichele, who had missed the previous three games with a shoulder injury. Temple compiled just six total yards of offense in the second and third quarters alone and could not move the football.
The Owls were rejuvenated with a running attack in the final stanza, led by freshman Kee-ayre Griffin (22 carries, career-high 85 yards). His one-yard touchdown run with 10:53 to go cut the Ohio lead to 10-7.
An Ohio fumbled snap and recovery by Temple senior DT Terrance Knighton gave the Owls the ball on the Ohio 20-yard line with 4:39 left. DiMichele hit TE Steve Maneri in the back of the endzone from the five-yard line to give the Owls their first lead of the contest with 1:51 to play.
In their first meeting in 2007, Friday night lights were not shining on Temple at Peden Stadium as the Owls saw their three-game win streak come to a halt with a 23-7 defeat at the hands of the host Ohio Bobcats in a crucial Mid-American Conference East Division clash.
Senior RB Kalvin McRae and freshman RB Vince Davidson led the Bobcats. McRae carried 25 times for 151 yards and one touchdown, while Davidson rushed for his first collegiate score, a 22-yarder that gave Ohio a 20-7 lead with 43 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Vaughn Charlton, making his first start of the season in place of the injured Adam DiMichele, completed a career-high 17-of-25 passes for a career-high 161 yards. WR Bruce Francis caught eight of Charlton's passes to match his career high in receptions, while his 101 receiving yards marked the second time he surpassed the century mark.
