PHILADELPHIA (AP) — P.J. Walker threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns, both in the fourth quarter, and Temple downed Tulsa 35-24 on Saturday.
After a career long 44-yard field goal by Tulsa's Carl Salazar broke a 21-21 tie early in the final quarter, Walker found Jalen Fitzpatrick from 30 yards out to catapult Temple back in front. Walker added a 20-yard strike to Jahad Thomas 7 minutes later to put the game away.
