Kent, OH -- (Sports Network) - Julian Edelman ran for 144 yards and three touchdowns, and Nate Reed's 26-yard field goal with 4:05 remaining in the fourth quarter lifted Kent State to a 41-38 win over Temple.

Eugene Jarvis rushed for 185 yards and a score for the Golden Flashes (3-7, 2-4 MAC) on a wet night at Dix Stadium. Edelman also completed 18-of-26 passes for 232 yards with a TD and an interception.

Kent State rolled up 329 yards rushing and won despite blowing an 18-point lead in the first half.

Jason Harper caught 10 passes for 209 yards and a pair of scores for the Owls (3-7, 2-4), who were coming off a heartbreaking 33-27 overtime loss at Navy. Five of Temple's losses this season have come by six points or less. The 209 yards were four shy of a team record for receiving in a game.

Kee-ayre Griffin ran for 56 yards and a touchdown. Adam DiMichele connected on 17-of-29 passes for 282 yards with three TDs and was picked off once in defeat. Travis Shelton returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score.

After Reed's second field goal of the game, the Owls went three-and-out on two straight possessions, giving Kent State the ball back with 2:05 left. The Golden Flashes ran nearly all the remaining time off, giving the Owls the ball again with 19 seconds to go after a punt. Temple though, fumbled the ball away at its own 35 in the waning seconds.

Edelman scored on a one-yard run with 11:03 remaining in the opening quarter, but Jake Brownell kicked a 43-yard field goal for Temple later in the period.

The Golden Flashes then got short TD runs from Jarvis and Edelman in a 51- second span early in the second. The latter score came following a DiMichele fumble.

Griffin scored from 21 yards out with 9:20 left in the half, and DiMichele's 32-yard connection to Bruce Francis had the Owls within 21-17 at intermission.

Shelton ran back the second-half kickoff for a TD, but the Golden Flashes went back in front on Edelman's two-yard scoring run three minutes later.

Harper caught a 35-yard TD pass with 10:08 left in the third, but Sam Kirkland caught a seven-yard scoring strike from Edelman later in the stanza for a 35-31 Kent State edge.

Reed hit a 21-yard field goal with 12:35 remaining before Harper caught a 51- yard TD pass 2:12 later.
