EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Phillip Walker threw three first-quarter touchdown passes Friday night and that was enough.Walker finished with 215 yards passing and the three scores to lead the Owls to their fourth consecutive win, a 21-0 shutout of UConn.Running back Jahad Thomas caught two of those touchdowns and had 73 receiving yards to go with 83 yards rushing. The Owls other running back, Ryquell Armstead, ran 20 times for 133 yards and Temple (7-3, 5-1 American) put up 431 yards of offense.UConn freshman quarterback Donovan Williams, playing in his first game, completed 12 of 21 passes for 69 yards and ran for 66. The Huskies (3-7, 1-5) have lost four straight.Walker completed his first eight passes and Temple scored all of the games points on its first three drives. The senior hit Thomas on scoring strikes of 23 and 10-yards and found receiver Romond Deloatch from 18-yards out.The Owls put up 206 yards in the first quarter.We got a rhythm going and we got going, said Walker.But, his ninth pass was intercepted in the end zone by UConns Obi Melifonwu, who picked off another in the end zone in the fourth quarter to end a 13-play, 87-yard Temple drive.Had we not had those, maybe we come away and its a 35-42 point game, said coach Matt Rhule. We had three turnovers and still won the game, thats pretty hard to do.The Temple defense made sure UConn never got in the game. The Owls held the Huskies to 160 yards of offense.Williams, who was expected to redshirt this season, had a 43-yard first-quarter run to set up UConns best scoring chance. But Temples Michael Dogbe blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt.It was the third straight week the Owls have blocked a kick.The team tried hard today, UConn coach Bob Diaco said. Its not for a lack of trying. They fought hard, they continue to strain. (But) theres so much to clean up. People dont want to hear me say positive things anymore.THE TAKEAWAYTemple: The Owls remain in good in position to win the American Athletic Conferences East Division. Temple and South Florida have one loss each in the conference, but Temple holds the tiebreaker after beating the Bulls last month. USF has a bye this week before playing at Memphis on Nov. 12.Im really proud of the guys, Walker said. Weve gone out there and competed and even though we are a little bit beat up, we havent made any excuses.UConn: The Huskies bowl hopes ended with the loss along with their plans for redshirting Williams. The freshman was under pressure all night and finished as UConns leading rusher, despite being sacked five times.Now, I know what to look forward to, especially the speed of the game, Williams said. I still have a lot to learn, but Im taking one step at a time.Diaco said Williams would have started earlier this season, but the freshman suffered an injury in practice in early October.MILESTONEWalkers 215 passing yards give him 2,205 for the season. He becomes the first player in school history to throw for more than 2,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.FIRST QUARTER WOESUConns first quarter scoring this year has been limited to three field goals. The Huskies are the only Bowl Subdivision team without a first-quarter touchdown.UP NEXTTemple: The Owls go into their first bye week after nine consecutive games.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Written in Portuguese on one wall above center court at Carioca Arena is the phrase Um mundo novo. Translation: A new world.It didnt seem that way in mens Olympic basketball -- until now.Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the U.S. mens team survived a heart-racing final seconds to defeat disciplined and experienced Serbia 94-91 on Friday night and extend its winning streak in international tournaments to 49 games.No. 50 is no given, and suddenly, a gold medal that seemed a formality just a few days ago is anything but certain.The Americans, boasting a roster stuffed with NBA All-Stars, elite outside shooters but only two former Olympians, look very vulnerable and somewhat lost on the worlds hardwood stage.We do have more talent, said U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has been warning about overconfidence since his teams arrival in Brazil. We have to get our talent playing even much better as a team.Despite a ferocious start, the Americans couldnt put away the underdog Serbs, who ran their cut-and-cut-again offense with precision and had a chance to tie it in the final seconds. But guard Bogdan Bogdanovics 3-pointer from the left wing was a little long and Kevin Durant secured the rebound and the relieved Americans walked off the floor with their streak intact but their standing shaken.Kyrie Irving scored 15 points and Durant and Carmelo Anthony added 12 apiece for the U.S. team, which arrived in South American lauded as the latest version of an American super squad. However, after their 10-point win over the Aussies earlier this week and now a nail-biter against the Serbs, the rest of the field might be starting to believe the U.S. can be taken.We got in our own heads, Durant said. We had a great start, great start. We were up almost 20 points. We should have held the lead and we just got sidetracked by stupid stuff, from the calls to the physicality, the extra plays. We got to stay with it. Thats the way its going to be out here.Nikola Jokic, who plays for the Denver Nuggets, scored 25 and Milos Teodosic and Miroslav Raduljica 18 each for the Serbs, who fell to 1/3 but left the building feeling confident after making the Americans sweat.Paul George said Serbias systematic offense was unlike anything he and his teammates have faced.Once again, we relied on natural talent, George said. This is why theese guys are special in our league.dddddddddddd These international guys really know how to move and really know how to cut. Its more about how theyre running their offense. Its wearing us down.Its like they dont get tired.It was the first Olympic game between the nations, and a rematch of the 2014 Basketball World Cup championship won by the U.S. 129-92. However, this never resembled that track meet as the Serbs slowed the tempo and forced the Americans into turnovers and rushed possessions. The worlds best team certainly didnt look or play like it for long stretches.The U.S., which will wrap up preliminary-round play against France on Sunday, led 94-87 with 2:11 left on a basket by Anthony. But the Serbs got a basket by Jokic and two free throws Teodosic to get within three.Durant, who only attempted four shots, misfired with eight seconds left giving Serbia one last chance. After a timeout, the ball wound up with Bogdanovic, who had a great look from 22 feet but was just off the mark.We are that kind of a team that we never give up and we showed this today, said Teodosic, one of Europes craftiest guards for the past decade. This is third game in a row that we have a very bad beginning, and especially (against) the teams like the United States, its very tough to get back in the game when you are losing by 10 or 15 in the beginning.The 10-point win over Australia -- just the fifth time the U.S. has won by 10 or fewer since 2006 -- raised the possibility that this American team might not be as golden as previous ones.Krzyzewski, though, insists there is more global balance in hoops.We dont give enough credit to the talent level on the other team, he said. Australia is talented. Serbia is talented. They are one of the top teams in the world, but theyve played together for a long time. We played them two years ago and had a great game and everything went well for us. All of those guys are back and Im sure they wanted to make up for that, too.Our guys are playing as a team, and I think we just havent had that experience of playing that long together and hopefully these games will help us and the game against France will also.The Americans had better learn or theyll be going home with a less shiny medal.
