John Mateer threw for 282 yards and a touchdown and ran for 63 yards and another score to lead No. 13 Oklahoma to a 42-3 win over Temple on Saturday in Philadelphia.
Freshman running back Tory Blaylock also rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
The Sooners (3-0) outgained the Owls 515-104, holding Temple to just 27 yards rushing. Oklahoma had 30 first downs to just seven for the Owls.
The Sooners got off to a quick start, scoring on their first drive thanks to two long completions from Mateer to tight end Jaren Kanak.
Jovantae Barnes finished off the drive with a three-yard touchdown run and then Kanak hit Jacob Ulrich for a two-point conversion to make it 8-0.
After Oklahoma's defense held Temple to a second consecutive three-and-out, the Sooners extended their lead on a 52-yard field goal by Tate Sandell.
Oklahoma then stretched the lead thanks to a pair of touchdowns by Blaylock just over two minutes apart early in the second quarter.
Temple's only points came late in the first half after Ty Davis' interception on a pass over the middle from Mateer.
Oklahoma receiver Keontez Lewis suffered an injury on the play after a hard collision with Davis.
The Owls' offense lost yardage following the interception but Carl Hardin hit a 34-yard field goal to put Temple (2-1) on the board.
The Sooners led 28-3 at halftime, then extended their lead with two third-quarter touchdowns, the latter on Mateer's 51-yard touchdown run with 5:04 remaining in the quarter.
Isaiah Sategna led the Sooners with seven catches for 97 yards.
Early in the third quarter, Oklahoma defensive end R Mason Thomas was ejected following a booth-initiated review for targeting after initially being called for roughing the passer.
Barring a successful appeal, Thomas will have to miss next week's SEC opener against Auburn.
Temple quarterback Evan Simon came into the game leading the nation in passing efficiency but was just 13 of 27 for 75 yards in the loss.
