The first full week of college football kicks off with an intriguing non-conference clash featuring a team from the AAC and a program now settled in the SEC, as they face off in the Sooner State.
The Temple Owls hit the road to challenge the 16th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Friday night. Last season, Temple concluded with a disappointing 3-9 record overall, including a 1-7 mark in AAC play, making it their third consecutive 3-9 season. Oklahoma, on the other hand, wrapped up their 2023 campaign with a strong 10-3 record, going 7-2 in their final Big 12 season.
Their year ended with a 38-24 defeat to Arizona in the Alamo Bowl. Historically, the two teams have met twice, with the Owls claiming a 14-7 victory in their most recent encounter on November 21, 1942.
