Maryland humbled at home by the Owls, 38-7

Most of the announced crowd of 39,102 had departed by the time Maryland finally scored against Temple on Saturday afternoon at Byrd Stadium. Watching the Terrapins get dismantled by the Owls of the Mid-American Conference was more than they could bear.

On a day when Temple’s Bernard Pierce ran for a school-record five touchdowns and Maryland’s Danny O’Brien ran for his life, the Terrapins suffered a humiliating defeat of historic proportions, 38-7. It was Temple’s first win ever over an ACC school.
