Temple blew a 10-point lead over the Wildcats to ultimately lose 27–24 to the Villanova Wildcats to open the year on a sour note. This game was similar to many games last year where Temple would have a lead but be unable to finish off an opponent, such as the overtime loss to Navy and the Hail Mary loss to Buffalo last year. After a scoreless first quarter, Temple got a 10–0 halftime lead, then made it a 17–7 lead midway through the third after each scored, and Villanova scored to make it 17–14, but Temple would score again early in the 4th quarter to make it 24–14, but Villanova would shut out the Owls the rest of the way, making it 24–17 on a field goal soon after, late in the game Villanova tied it up, and just as Temple was about to go for the win, a turnover led to a Villanova field goal that gave them their first win of the year and put Temple at 0–1 to start the new year. It was also Villanova's first win against a I-A opponent since 2003, ironically it Temple. Villanova leads the series.

Temple hadn't beaten Penn State since 1941, and that nearly 70-year losing streak remained intact, but the Owls kept themselves in the game early with a field goal and successful onside kick. Afterwards, the momentum they had gained was quickly lost as Penn State made it 21–3 at halftime and 24–6 after three. Penn State put the game out of reach with a touchdown run by Stephon Green. Soon afterwards, Penn State put their backups in, but were unable to score any more points. With the 6–31 loss, this now makes four straight games that the Owls have failed to score at least a touchdown on Penn State.

Despite going 12–2 last year and being ranked as high as #12, the Ball State Cardinals remained winless this year after giving Temple a game that appeared closer than it really was. Temple took a 10–0 lead, but fell behind 13–10, but soon retook the lead and would hold on for the 24–19 win, giving up a meaningless touchdown on the game's final play to make the game look like a nailbiter. Temple also was 3–0 in the MAC and 3–2 overall with the win.
