December 14, 2011 · By tang

Dec 17 is set aside on the calendar for the Gildan New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Owls face the Wyoming Cowboys in this clash of two great squads. The Owls come into play with an 8-4 record and a 5-3 record, which is good for 2nd in the MAC. The Cowboys furthermore have an 8-4 record with a 5-2 record, which is third in the Mountain West Conference. With near-identical records, this match should prove to go right down to the last whistle. Temple comes into the game averaging 30.1 ppg on offense with an amazing 13.8 ppg on defense which ranks third in the country. Wyoming’s win-loss record is not indicative of their proportion of points as the Cowboys average 27 ppg on both sides of the ball.
