PHILADELPHIA - E.J. Warner came off the bench in the second quarter to complete 14 of 19 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns as Temple delivered the first career win for head coach Stan Drayton in a 30-14 victory against Lafayette Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.

Starting quarterback D'Wan Mathis engineered a three-play scoring drive on Temple's first series, but the Leopards stymied the Owls through the first and second quarters, forcing two fumbles, getting a stop on downs and getting a three-and-out.

The Leopards took advantage of the short field after Temple's first fumble and tied the game at 7-7 on Julius Young's 12-yards touchdown catch.

Drayton turned to Warner, a true freshman, with 7:53 left in the second quarter, and Warner engineered a 12-play, 83-yard drive capped by a 15-yard fade in the end zone to Ian Stewart. The Owls gained a 21-7 lead on their next drive when Edward Saydee capped a four-play possessio with a 9-yard run up the middle with 23 seconds left in the half.

The Leopardds closed to within one score early in the third quarter, but Warner's second touchdown pass, a 17-yard strike to Jordan Smith, gave Temple a 28-14 lead before a late safety off a blocked punt iced it.

Jose Barbon finished with eight receptions for 118 yards for the Owls.

Temple finished with a 361-110 advantage in total offense and an 18-7 margin in first downs.
