Oklahoma defeated Temple 42–3 in a dominant performance. Oklahoma covered by 15.5; Game went Under by 5.5. The market closed at Oklahoma -23.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Oklahoma -24.4. The two were within a point of each other, so there was no meaningful edge in this line.
Oklahoma scored on their first four possessions, building a 25-0 halftime lead, and finished with 42 points. John Mateer threw for 282 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for a 51-yard score, while Tory Blaylock added 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The Sooners held Temple to just 26 rushing yards and only 3 points, continuing a trend of allowing only 254 passing yards total over the first three games. This defensive dominance suggests they can handle weaker opponents easily.
Wide receiver Keontez Lewis left the game with a head injury, and defensive lineman R Mason Thomas was ejected for targeting, which will result in an automatic suspension for the first half of the next game against Auburn.
This game served as a breather between a win over then-No. 15 Michigan and an upcoming matchup against No. 24 Auburn. The team's performance indicates they are well-prepared for tougher competition.
John Mateer now has at least one rushing and one passing touchdown in nine straight games, leading the nation in that category. His versatility will be crucial against Auburn's defense.
Temple was dominated 42-3 by No. 13 Oklahoma, managing only 3 points after scoring 97 in their first two wins. The moment seemed too big for them, especially in the first half.
The Owls allowed 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Tory Blaylock, and Oklahoma's offense scored on their first four possessions. Temple's defense will need to improve against Georgia Tech's ground game.
Temple was held to just 26 rushing yards and struggled to protect the quarterback, leading to sacks and tackles for loss. This bodes poorly for facing Georgia Tech's defensive front.
After opening the season 2-0 with high-scoring wins, Temple's offense stalled completely against a Power 5 defense. The team must regroup quickly to avoid a losing streak.
Temple travels to face Georgia Tech next week. They will need to show significant improvement in all phases to compete, especially after being outclassed by Oklahoma.
