PHILADELPHIA — E.J. Warner threw for 402 yards with four touchdowns and Temple pulled away in the fourth quarter, defeating Navy 32-18 on Saturday.

The Owls clinched their first American Athletic Conference win when Warner threw fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Jordan Smith for 13 yards and Dante Wright for 16 yards. The scores came after Navy had closed to within 17-15 on Xavier Arline’s 2-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter.
