Montel Harris explodes for 351 yards, 7 TDs in Temple's lopsided win

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- After taking a helmet to his left knee in a bad loss a week ago, Montel Harris barely practiced as Temple prepared for a critical game at Army. Seems like a good idea in retrospect. Harris rushed for a career highs of 351 yards and seven touchdowns -- both Big East records -- Matt Brown scored twice before leaving the game with an injury, and Temple beat Army 63-32 on Saturday for its fifth straight win in the series. Harris scored on a 60-yard run and a 1-yard run in the second quarter, a 1-yard run and a 37-yarder in the third, and a 2-yarder, another 37-yarder and another 1-yarder in the fourth to come within one of the NCAA record in 1990 by Howard Griffith of Illinois against Southern Illinois.
