The Owls will open their season at home against Bucknell University on Aug. 31 at Lincoln Financial Field for Rod Carey’s first game as the Temple head coach.
Men’s basketball coach Fran Dunphy enter his final season as Temple’s coach, fencing coach Nikki Franke earned her 800th win, and the women’s soccer team defeated their first ranked opponent since 1995.
Because most of the roster experienced Matt Rhule leaving Temple for Baylor University in 2016, Temple’s players are handling Collins’ departure more maturely than they did Rhule’s, interim coach Ed Foley said.
