Smith Helps Possession At Owls

NCAA Football Betting Lines

North Dakota State took a 14-7 lead into halftime by answering a GSU touchdown drive with its own five-play, 60-yard scoring march late in the second quarter.

Warren Holloway caught a 29-yard pass from Jensen to reach the GSU 17 and then scored on the next play when he took a pitch from McNorton on an end-around and went untouched into the end zone at the 1:38 mark.

Two plays later, Holloway separated himself from GSU safety Laron Scott in a corner of the Eagles' end zone and hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Jensen with 4:45 left.

GSU's offense, not surprisingly, played aggressively. The Eagles converted on fourth down on a drive that later ended on downs early in the second quarter. Midway through the quarter, they ran a fake punt from their 33 and converted the first down on Johnathan Bryant's 13-yard run around end.

Jensen completed 10-of-15 passes for 137 yards and one touchdowns, while Shaw was 11-for-18 for 134 yards. Swope had 96 yards on 23 carries for GSU.

Coyer also threw for 169 yards and a score, Rod Streater hauled in a 61-yard touchdown and Evan Rodriguez caught two balls for 52 yards.

Temple, which was snubbed out of a bowl bid last season after going 8-4, took control early and scored touchdowns on each of its first three possessions to take a 21-0 lead.

After Daniel Sullivan's 49-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right, Joe Jones took a reverse 35 yards to Wyoming's 34-yard line on the first play of Temple's ensuing possession. Pierce's second one-yard TD run capped off the nine-play, 69-yard drive.

The Cowboys finally got on the scoreboard with 37 seconds left in the first half. Smith picked up 16 yards on 4th-and-3, and then hooked up with Josh Doctson for a 21-yard score on another 4th-and-3 to make it a 21-7 game.

After a Wyoming punt, the Owls took their opening second-half possession 60 yards in 12 plays, and Brandon McManus connected from 34 yards out to make it 31-7 with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter.

Kody Sutton hauled in a 14-yard score for Wyoming with three seconds left, and Smith converted the two-point conversion with a quarterback keeper.

The Owls are 20-2 when Pierce carries the ball at least 18 times. He carried the ball 25 times in the game...Temple ran for 150 yards in the first half...Wyoming was 5-for-5 on fourth down...Wyoming's Alvester Alexander was held to 17 yards on just seven carries.

Albuquerque, NM (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bernard Pierce ran for 100 yards and two scores as the Temple Owls earned their first bowl win in 32 years with a 37-15 rout over the Wyoming Cowboys in the New Mexico Bowl. The Owls last won a bowl game in 1979 when they defeated Cal, 28-17, in the Garden State Bowl.
