1. Temple had turnovers luck and drive finishing on its side, but it wasn't quite enough.
2. Man oh man, Temple can tackle. So many times, an Irish ball carrier had the ball in space with one guy to beat, and that guy brought his man down.
3. That pass to Will Fuller for the game-winning touchdown was beautiful (even if the angle taken by the tackle was awful).
4. That KeiVarae Russell pick that sealed the game was even more beautiful. He came out of nowhere.
