Howard

Offensive Struggles Against Power Conference Competition

Howard managed only 7 points and struggled significantly against Temple's defense, indicating potential difficulties when facing stronger competition. The team's inability to sustain drives consistently will be a major concern moving forward.

Defensive Vulnerabilities Exposed

The Bison allowed 560 yards of total offense and 55 points, with Temple scoring on 9 of their first 11 possessions. This defensive breakdown suggests significant issues with both run defense (225 yards allowed) and pass coverage that need immediate attention.

Bright Spot in Late-Game Execution

Howard showed resilience with a well-executed 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive in the second half, capped by Tyriq Starks' 1-yard TD pass to KD Mosley. This drive demonstrates the team's ability to move the ball when focused and could be a foundation to build upon.

Reality Check After Opening Win

After starting 1-0, this blowout loss serves as a harsh reminder of the talent gap between Howard and higher-level programs. The team will need to regroup mentally and focus on fundamentals to avoid similar performances in future games.
