Daily News | Even in defeat, Temple stands tall in 16-14 loss to Rutgers
The Owls entered the game at Lincoln Financial Field as a 17.5-point underdog with a true freshman quarterback in E.J. Warner making his first career start.
A staunch defensive performance grounded Rutgers for most of the afternoon as the Knights struggled to move the ball through the air, amassing just 59 yards on 10 attempts.With both offenses being stagnant throughout, it was ultimately Rutgers’ defense that swung the momentum. In the second quarter, sophomore cornerback Shaquan Loyal tipped and intercepted a pass from Warner at the line of scrimmage. Loyal returned the interception 55 yards for a touchdown, putting the Scarlet Knights up, 10-7.
“We need to get more consistency around [Warner],” said Temple head coach Stan Drayton. “We need to protect him. He’s throwing the ball on time. Our receivers are doing a good job, [but] they can do a better job of getting open versus man coverage.”
