The Temple Owls return to bowl play this season, despite missing out last year with a winning record. Temple was snubbed last season after dropping their final two games, but against Wyoming they'll be looking to prove they belonged last year. "You always feel better when you win your bowl game, it's the last game, it's our ninth win, we wanna get that ninth win, it's really important to us," he said. "It just leaves a great taste in your mouth," Temple head coach Steve Addazio said. "That's what you're striving for."
