Temple defeats Rhode Island 38-14 after two pick-six interceptions

Temple defeated Rhode Island 38-14 on Saturday, September 5, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Rams, falling to 1-1 on the season, struggled to contain the Owls, who maintained consistent offensive production throughout the game. Quarterback Tyler Budge threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, significantly hindering Rhode Island's upset bid. Despite a productive game from receiver Marquis Buchanan, who recorded 10 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown, the Rams could not overcome the turnovers and a series of explosive plays allowed by the defense. Rhode Island remains winless against Temple in 12 all-time meetings. The Rams now prepare for their CAA conference schedule and their home opener against Elon on September 12 at Centreville Bank Stadium.
