Temple shocks unbeaten USF 17-13 on the road

Temple improved to 2-3 (1-1 AAC) on Oct. 3 by beating previously unbeaten South Florida. Ajani Sheppard's 87 rushing yards and 34-yard winning touchdown capped a 96-yard drive, while the defense held USF scoreless late. Follow-up coverage validates the Owls' improved late-game resistance but leaves passing, tackling and ball-security concerns.
