vs
Temple would get some offense going in the first half, leading 10-0 heading into halftime after a 1 yard run by Bernard Pierce and a 24 yard FG by Brandon McManus. KU RB DJ Beshears would score in the 3rd quarter on a 21 yard run to make it 10-7 though. Temple would get much going, but KU would make a 26 yard FG on their next drive to make it 10-10. Temple would then drive down the field, but get stopped at the 3 yard line on a 4 and 1 play. That play was huge. KU's offense couldn't get anything going on that drive and had to give the ball back to Temple. QB Chester Stewart would hook up with Bernard Pierce on an 18 yard pass to make it 17-10 with 1:03 left. KU was able to drive down the field and convert a few 3rd down plays to score on an 8 yard TD pass from QB Jordan Webb to WR Daymond Patterson which tied it all up at 17 with just 19 seconds left. Temple was able to drive down to the 22 yard line and called a timeout with 3 seconds left. Unfortunately, Kicker Brandon McManus would miss the 39 yard FG to send the game into OT knotted at 17. Temple's ball. Bernard Pierce would score on a 5 yard run. Since they couldn't stop the WB Dive on that drive, I decided to run it and try to get the 2 point conversion and it worked! 25-17 Temple. KU wouldn't even be able to get a first down and lost the game 25-17. Coach Bohannon is now 1-0!!!

"This was a nice way to start the season. It wasn't real pretty, but a win's a win and that's all that matters. We're 1-0, who cares how we won it. Next up is Central Michigan and they're a pretty decent team themselves. Our running game is looking really good so far and our D didn't look bad either."
