Football - The Temple News

The Owls’ defense allowed 487 yards rushing in a 31-24 loss to Navy Saturday.

While at times futile, the screen passes have paid off for the Owls.

The Owls forced seven turnovers in a 37-7 blowout.

Quarterback P.J. Walker threw two touchdown passes and the defense dominated as Temple stunned SEC opponent Vanderbilt Thursday, 37-7.

Coach Matt Rhule expects more in a new-look conference.

On the heels of a losing season, the Owls have eagerly awaited for a chance at redemption.

Redshirt junior Saledeem Major has been learning from senior Wanemi Omuso, while Temple’s “tough guys” were selected Tuesday.

Coach Matt Rhule saw an increase in energy from his defense, but was left unimpressed with the offense Tuesday.

After a season of inconsistent kicking, the Owls hope to address the issue during training camp.

Rhule says the team showed good physicality but lacked energy.
