  "account": "Philadelphia (AP) — Keveun Mason delivered a stellar performance, rushing for 158 yards and two touchdowns, while Temple added two pick-6 scores, leading Rhode Island 38-14 in the Owls' season opener. Mason capitalized on a 1-yard run in the first half to extend Temple's lead to 24-14, followed by a 3-yard score with a minute left in the third quarter, boosting the Owls' advantage to 31-14. Tyree Alualu's 63-yard interception return sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Jamarcus Pierre contributed a 35-yard pick-6 in the first half. Jaxon Freeman connected with Jayce Smolik for a 35-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, but the Rams (1-1) tied the game on Tyler Budge's 35-yarder to Marquis Buchanan. Temple took the lead 17-7 at halftime. Budge recorded 195 passing and rushing yards, including two touchdowns, but was intercepted twice. Buchanan amassed 137 yards on 10 receptions. Temple has a perfect record against Rhode Island, with the previous matchup dating back to 1975. Rhode Island faces Elon in a Coastal Athletic Association game next Saturday, while Temple hosts No. 18 Penn State the following Saturday.",
