Extra points
Golden era?
Temple is 3-0 for the first time since 1979, and Saturday's 30-16 victory over Connecticut was its first over a BCS conference team since it beat Syracuse in 2004.
"We're a Division I team now," said fifth-year coach Al Golden, whose team went 9-4 last year and played in a bowl game for the first time since going 10-2 in that 1979 season. "We lost a lot of close games as were growing up, and that was because of a lot of things. But also because we were tired. I don't know the final count [yesterday], but I bet you we played 56 people in the game."
He might get to play 56 again Saturday when the Owls venture to No. 22 Penn State.
