Utah State football couldn’t have experienced much worse of an outcome Saturday. On the road in Philadelphia against a Temple team roundly considered one of the worst at the FBS level, the Aggies fell completely flat.

A 64-yard second-quarter field goal and scoring 24 unanswered second-half points fueled the Owls in capturing its first win since Week 9 of the 2023 season.

After racing out to an early 14-point lead, Utah State got outscored by winless Temple in the second half, 28-8, in a 45-29 loss to the Owls Saturday afternoon. Offensively, the Aggies played well enough,

When Utah State has been at its best defensively in recent years, the Aggies have been a disruptive defense; i.e. getting into the opposition’s backfield for tackles for loss and sacks, as well as causing turnovers and penalties by the opposing offense.
