2016 Temple Football
Matt RHULE Head Coach Penn State ‘97 10th Season at Temple (4th as Head Coach) On December 17, 2012, Matt Rhule (pronounced RULE) returned to North Broad Street to take the helm as head coach of the Temple Owls. Following six seasons as one of Al Golden’s top assistants, he joined the New York Giants as the assistant offensive line coach in 2012. He is now in his fourth year as the 26th Owls head coach and tenth on the Temple campus. Prior to the start of his first season in charge, he offered that his squad would produce an exciting brand of football and they would improve as the season progressed. Rhule delivered on those promises as the 2013 Owls produced nearly 400 yards per game of offense (the second best total in school history). Despite an 0-6 start to the season, the troops never surrendered and the team never trailed at the start of the fourth quarter in the second half of the season. The mission in the 2014 offseason was to learn how to finish out games. They did just that, allowing only 23 fourth quarter points in all of 2014. That adjustment, and the overall improved play of the defense, helped the Owls to a 6-6 record. On June 25, 2015, Rhule was rewarded with a four-year contract extension that will keep him on the Temple sidelines through the 2021 season. Temple’s Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft announced, “Matt Rhule is one of the best young coaches in college football and we are excited that he will be at the helm of Temple Football through at least 2021. Matt has the program heading in the right direction, especially as we enter a very promising season on the gridiron, and we are confident that he is the right person to take the program to even greater heights.” And take the program to greater heights he did. In 2015, Rhule has led his team to a 10-win regular season and an American Athletic Conference East division trophy. For the first time in 73 years, the Owls beat Penn State, started the season a program-best 7-0, and were ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in 36 seasons. Ten of his players earned all-conference honors and senior linebacker Tyler Matakevich won the Bednarik and Nagurski Awards while also being named a finalist for the Lott IMPACT and Senior CLASS Awards. That success prompted another commitment from Temple University following the season. Said then-University President Dr. Neil Theobald, “Matt’s commitment to our student-athletes on and off the field, as well as the program’s substantial improvement each season, has more than justified my confidence in him. He works tirelessly for the betterment of our players, our football program, and our university.” Added Kraft, “Matt is one of the top coaches in college football and has been responsible for making Temple a national program. He is an even better person off the field; a true leader who instills character and values in the men under his charge.” The State College, PA, native and a former player at Penn State has 18 years of collegiate coaching experience, including nine seasons at Temple, and seven bowl game appearances -- three with the Owls -- on his resume. Rhule joined the Giants in the spring of 2012. He worked closely with Pat Flaherty, who has been the

offensive line coach since 2004. They finished the 2012 campaign at 9-7, second in the NFC East, and averaged 355 yards of offense per game. Four New York players, including guard Chris Snee, were selected to the Pro Bowl. During his previous tenure at Temple, Rhule’s role changed several times. In spring 2012, he was promoted to co-offensive coordinator after serving as the assistant offensive coordinator and tight ends coach as well as the recruiting coordinator under Steve Addazio in 2011. Temple’s 2012 recruiting class was ranked #1 in the Mid-American Conference and helped lay the foundation for the program’s transition to the Big East Conference. Under Al Golden, Rhule was promoted to offensive coordinator in the spring of 2008. He also coached the TU quarterbacks. He coached the defensive line in 2006 and served as the quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. For three consecutive years, Temple’s recruiting class was ranked #1 in the MAC [2006, 2007, 2008]. In 2011, the Owls went 9-4 and played in the fourth bowl game in school history, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, where they crushed Wyoming, 37-15 – Temple’s first postseason victory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl. Rhule mentored two-time firstteam All-MAC selection TE Evan Rodriguez. For the second time in Rhule’s tenure, the Owls set the Temple single-season rushing yardage record and rushing touchdowns records behind the explosive efforts of All-MAC junior running backs Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown.

The Owls recorded the largest margin of victory (42 points against Buffalo) in a MAC game. A school record six offensive players earned All-MAC honors, including repeat first-team honorees OL Colin Madison, OL Darius Morris, and RB Bernard Pierce as well as first-time honoree TE Evan Rodriguez.

Ed FOLEY Asst. Head Coach/Tight Ends/Special Teams
Bucknell ‘89 8th Season at Temple Ed Foley enters his ninth season with Temple University and fourth as the assistant head coach and tight ends coach, after two seasons as the director of football operations. Previously he served as the Owls’ recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach/assistant offensive line coach for three seasons. In 2015, he added special teams coordinator to his resume and his units made an immediate impact. Temple blocked an NCAA leading seven kicks, Jahad Thomas tied a team record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and Austin Jones set the school record for field goals made (23) and points by a kicker (113). In his first year back on the sidelines, Foley helped develop former QB Chris Coyer into a tight end. That progress was hindered due to nagging injuries but Coyer closed out his senior campaign with 129 receiving yards and a TD in the season finale. In 2010, Foley’s tight ends and offensive line helped the team to an 8-4 regular-season record. The Owls recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1978-79. A school record six offensive players earned AllMAC accolades, including first-team honorees TE Evan Rodriguez, OL Colin Madison, and OL Darius Morris. Madison and Morris became the first repeat first-team All-MAC recipients in school history. In 2009, the tight ends and offensive line helped TU win a single-season record nine consecutive games en route to a 9-4 overall record and first-place tie in the MAC East. A school record five offensive players were named All-MAC, including senior TE Steve Maneri and four linemen. Juniors Colin Madison and Darius Morris earned First Team accolades. In his first season with the Owls in 2008, Foley helped Temple to its most wins in nearly two decades. The Owls out-scored their opponents for the season for the first time since 1990. Foley also helped Temple bring in its fourth highly touted recruiting class during the Golden Era. A native of Cherry Hill, NJ, Foley returned to the City of Brotherly Love after spending three seasons at Hofstra as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, and offensive line coach. The Pride offense blossomed under Foley in his first year as coordinator, increasing its yardage total from 269 to 388 yards per contest from the previous year. The Pride’s scoring output also increased from 16.8 to 26.9 points per game. Foley also brought balance to the Pride attack as Hofstra’s rushing total was its highest since 2000 (145 yards/game) and its passing attack netted 243 yards per contest. Charles Sullivan left as the all-time leader in receptions and yards after catching 86 balls for 991 yards under Foley’s tutelage. Prior to joining the Pride, Foley served seven years at Fordham University, including two seasons as head coach from 2004-05. After a 5-6 record in 2004, a season in which the Rams dropped four games by a touchdown or less, Fordham slipped to a 2-9 mark in 2005. As Fordham’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach from 1999 through 2003, Foley helped rejuvenate a program that rose to the top of the Patriot League in 2002, when it won its first-ever league title with a 10-3 record. In 2003, the Rams compiled a 9-3 overall record and had 12 players named to the All-Patriot League Team, including six members of the offense, four
of whom were named to the first team. Under Foley’s guidance, the Fordham offense set numerous team and individual records. The Rams set a team record for most rushing yards in a season in 2003, gaining 1,657 yards, while also setting a school record for most pass completions in a season with 255. In 2002, Fordham led the Patriot League in passing offense and scoring offense, while finishing second in total offense and setting a team record for most points in a season. In addition to winning the Patriot League title that season, the Rams advanced to the NCAA I-AA Playoffs, where they defeated Northeastern University in the first round. In 2001, Foley helped the Fordham offense develop its first 1,000-yard rusher on the NCAA Division I-AA level, as well as the first-ever 1,000-yard receiver in Fordham’s history. The Rams had the second-ranked passing offense in the Patriot League in 2001 as well as the second-best scoring offense. In 2000, Foley’s offense established a running game that generated 1,635 yards (an average of 148.6 per game), the most for a Fordham team on the I-AA level until the 2003 team gained 1,657. Foley arrived at Fordham after spending the 1998 season as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Jacksonville University, which sponsored a football team that year for the first time in the school’s history. Foley helped lead the Dolphins to a 4-5 record during their inaugural season, as the offense scored 271 points in nine games (30.1 ppg). The Dolphin attack averaged 380 yards per game, a perfectly balanced 190 yards rushing and passing per game. Foley also served as an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania from 1991 to 1993, and again from 1995 to 1997, spending the 1994 season as an assistant at Williams College. At Penn, Foley coached the tight ends and tackles for five years and helped the Quakers to a perfect 10-0 record in 1993, when they also won the Ivy League Championship. Prior to his stint at Penn, Foley served as the offensive line coach at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany for two years. Foley was a three-year starter at Bucknell University, playing offensive guard for one season and center for two. During his junior year, he was named the team’s top lineman, and he served as a captain during his senior year. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bucknell in 1989 and a master’s degree in educational psychology at SUNY Albany in 1991. Foley and his wife Rebecca have two sons, Charlie (16) and Luke (9), and a daughter Sara (7). His brother Glenn was a seven-year NFL veteran quarterback, playing with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks from 1993 to 2000.

The 2015 season saw another tremendous outing from the Temple defense. Once again, the Owls ranked in the top of the conference in almost every defensive category, including rushing and scoring defense. Snow also had a hand in helping to coach his fifth first-team All-American in senior linebacker Tyler Matakevich. In 2014 after a full season of digesting his defense, the unit transformed into one of the best in the nation – ranking fourth in scoring defense allowing just 17.5 points per game after giving up 29.8 a season earlier. Not only did they allow fewer points, but they also scored six touchdowns (four fumble recoveries and two interception returns), trailing only Washington’s seven. Aiding in the transformation of Temple’s defense was its penchant for takeaways. Temple was among the Top 5 in the NCAA with 30, including 19 fumble recoveries (tying Florida International for the nation’s best). The most dramatic improvement in Temple’s defense came in the passing game, where the unit shaved over 100 yards per game from the previous year. In 2014, the unit allowed just 186.9 yards per game after allowing 298.6 a year prior. They allowed just nine scoring passes after 24 one season before. Generating a pass rush helped the cause – Temple had 25 sacks after just 19 in 2013. Snow joined the Owls after three seasons as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Eastern Michigan University. Under Snow’s guidance, EMU ranked 38th nationally and third in the MAC in pass defense in 2012. The Eagles gave up just 212.75 yards per game. Senior LB Justin Cudworth and senior DE Andy Mulumba were second-team All-Mid-American Conference honorees. Snow orchestrated a major turnaround during the 2011 campaign, ranking 35th nationally and third in the MAC in total defense. The Eagles gave up 350.3 yards per game, an improvement of 103.8 yards per contest. In 12 games, the Eagles’ defense allowed just 292 points for a total of 24.3 points per game. The last EMU squad to accomplish the feat was the 1994 team, which gave up 275 points through its 11 contests. Snow joined the Eagles after four seasons (2005-08) with the NFL’s Detroit Lions as linebackers coach. Prior to his NFL stint in Detroit, Snow served as an assistant football coach at the University of Washington, UCLA, Arizona State University, the University of California, Boise State University, and Laney College. A 1978 graduate of Cal-State Hayward, Snow began his coaching career on the high school level, coaching at Berkeley (CA) H.S. in 1976, and at his high school alma ma-

ter, Winters (CA) in 1977-78. From there, Snow joined the Laney (CA) College football staff in 1979 as a defensive backs coach before taking over as the defensive coordinator in 1980 and 1981. His next stop was Boise State University, where he was an assistant coach from 1982-86. He was a defensive backs coach in his first season at Boise before becoming the defensive coordinator in 1983 and holding that position through the 1986 season. In addition, he was the top assistant to the head coach from 1984-86. His Boise State defense was ranked sixth in the nation in 1986. From Boise, Snow became defensive backs coach at the University of California from 1987-91. The 1990 and 1991 teams won the first back-to-back bowl games (Copper and Citrus) in school history. The 1991 team moved up as high as sixth in the weekly national rankings and played in the school’s first New Year’s Day bowl game in 33 years. After his California experience, Snow became the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Arizona State University from 1992-2000 and saw the 1996 team play in the Rose Bowl, the 1997 team make the Sun Bowl, while the 1999 and 2000 squads played in the Aloha Bowl. Snow’s 1996 ASU squad finished first in the conference in rush defense (98.0), pass defense (104.2) and total defense (306.2). It held Nebraska scoreless in one game and limited
OwlSports.com the opposition to under 10 points in five games total that season. The team finished the season ranked fourth in the nation in both polls. His defensive units ranked among the top three in scoring defense in the PAC10 in three of his last five seasons at ASU. In 2000, the Sun Devils ranked first in the nation in fumbles recovered and third in the country in number of turnovers created. The group was headlined by PAC -10 Defensive Player of the Year, Adam Archuleta, and conference Freshman of the Year, Terrell Suggs. Snow left ASU to become the defensive coordinator for two seasons at UCLA, where he mentored current Temple head coach Matt Rhule during the 2001 season. The Bruin defense ranked first in the PAC-10 in total defense in Snow’s first season. The unit also finished the season ranked second in the league in rushing defense and scoring defense. In addition, linebacker Robert Thomas, a first round selection by the
Rams in the 2002 NFL draft, earned 2001 PAC-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. Kenyon Coleman was the defensive winner of the Morris Trophy as the PAC-10’s best lineman. The 2002 team participated in the Las Vegas Bowl. The University of Washington called next and Snow spent 2003 as first the co-defensive coordinator and then the 2004 season as coordinator for the Huskies before moving to the NFL in 2005. A native of Woodland, CA, Snow graduated from Winters H.S. in Winters, CA. He went on to earn an associate’s degree at Sacramento City College in 1975 before completing his bachelor’s at Cal-State Hayward. Snow and his wife, Debra, have two sons, Phillip and Jacob. Son Phillip played golf at Nevada. His nephew is Boston Red Sox MVP second baseman Dustin Pedroia.

Aside from his work with Ryan, while Thomas was in Atlanta the offense featured perennial all-pros Roddy White and Julio Jones at wide receiver, Michael Turner at running back, and Tony Gonzalez, arguably the best tight end to play in the NFL. From 2001-07, Thomas spent his coaching tenure at Midwestern State. As a graduate assistant coaching wide receivers from 2001-04, the Mustangs won the Lone Star North Division Championship in his first season.

Thomas transformed Midwestern State’s offense into a powerhouse while serving as offensive coordinator from 2005-07. In 2007, his offense led the entire NCAA in total offense (550.0 yards per game) and rushing yards per game (317.0). Thomas found time to work with the Baltimore Ravens in-between seasons at Midwestern State. He was responsible for working with wide receivers (2002-03, ’05) and
also helped out with Baltimore’s quarterbacks. It was also in Baltimore where he was introduced to current Falcons head coach Mike Smith. The two also worked together during Smith’s tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars for one season (2004). Following his graduation from Texas Tech, Thomas began his coaching career as a student assistant at his alma mater from 1998-2001. A native of Eastland, Texas, Thomas and his wife, Felicia, have two sons, Hayden (5) and Dylan (3).

In his first season at Temple, Wiesehan oversaw an offensive line that cut its sack total by over 33% from the previous year. The line allowed just 21 sacks (down from 32) which was the third lowest total in 29 seasons. In fact, Temple quarterbacks were sacked just once every 19.2 pass attempts - the best mark in school history.

2016 Temple Football Temple 27, Penn State 10 September 5, 2015 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa TEMPLE BEATS PENN STATE IN KEYSTONE STATE BATTLE PHILADELPHIA - Jahad Thomas rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns and Phillip Walker completed 15-of-20 passes for 143 yards and added a rushing touchdown to lead Temple to a 27-10 win over visiting Penn State Saturday afternoon in front of a home record crowd of 69,176 at Lincoln Financial Field. The win was the first for the Owls (1-0) over the Nittany Lions (0-1) since the 1941 season. After allowing 10 points on Penn State’s first two possessions, the Cherry and White defense took control, holding the Nittany Lions scoreless the rest of the way. Senior LB Tyler Matakevich, who entered the game with a nation’s best 355 tackles, recorded a team-high seven tackles, including a career-best three sacks. In all, the Owls defense sacked Penn State QB Christian Hackenberg 10 times and limited the signal caller to 11-25 passing for 103 yards. Junior DL Sharif Finch intercepted Hackenberg to set up Temple’s go-ahead third quarter touchdown. After the game, Temple head coach Matt Rhule said, “The reason I believe we won is because we focused on ourselves and the players bought into that and only worried about the next play. After the game I said we won, it’s not about Penn State it is about us. For our guys to do that and focus on themselves shows great maturity.” Penn State jumped out early, scoring on its first two drives. The Nittany Lions got a 33-yard run from Brandon Polk on their first snap, but the Owls defense clamped down in the red zone, forcing a 34-yard field goal from Joey Julius. Following a second consecutive punt, Penn State took the ball 75 yards in six plays, capped off by a 42 yard touchdown run by Akeel Lynch to make the lead 10-0. The Owls defense then came to life, and kept the PSU offense in check the remainder of the game. After the two scoring drives, Temple forced four straight PSU three-and-outs as the defense began to dominate the line of scrimmage. Following a punt to the Temple seven, the Owls offense found some rhythm. Walker and Thomas each took off for first down runs. Walker then found redshirt freshman WR Ventell Bryant for 25 yards on third down and 16. Thomas broke off runs of 12 and 31 yards to give the Owls first-and-goal at the Penn State 2.
Two runs into the line produced just one yard so head coach Matt Rhule dialed up some trickery. With freshman RB Ryquell Armstead in front of Thomas, Walker faked the belly run before tossing a wide pitch to Thomas, who recorded his first rushing TD as an Owl. The 12-play, 93yard drive was the longest scoring drive for the Owls since the 99-yard march at Lincoln Financial Field last season in the 35-24 win over Tulsa on October 11. The Owls tied the game on their second drive on the second half. Walker hit redshirt freshman TE Kip Patton for a 20-yard catch and run, followed by a wide receiver throwback from redshirt senior WR John Christopher to Walker for 25 yards. The drive stalled out at the PSU 23, but Austin Jones converted his first attempt of the year from 40 yards out to make it 10-10 with 6:23 remaining in the third quarter. Finch then intercepted Hackenberg and galloped 26 yards to the Penn State 2. Walker then ran it in from oneyard out to give Temple a 17-10 lead. Following another Temple defensive stop capped by a Nate D. Smith sack to open the fourth quarter, Walker drove the Owls 49 yards in five plays with Jahad Thomas’ 24-yard TD, a lane-changing scamper capping the drive. Following another defensive stand, Jones added a 30-yard insurance field goal to extend the lead to 2710. Walker was stellar behind center Kyle Friend, connecting with eight different receivers on the day. Redshirt senior WR Robby Anderson led the way with five catches while Bryant had two catches for a team-high 41 receiving yards. It was a total team effort on defense. Besides Matakevich, Tavon Young added six tackles while Nate D. Smith had five tackles and two sacks. Five other Owls, Jarred Alwan, Matt Ioannidis, Haason Reddick, Stephaun Marshall and Jacob Martin, all registered sacks in the contest. After the game, Thomas discussed the thrill of victory: “It felt great to see the excitement of the fans and players. Temple has been in a drought for the last few years and for us to come out and do this for the fans and for Philadelphia, it felt great.”

OWLS TAKE DOWN BEARCATS IN AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE SHOWDOWN CINCINNATI – Jahad Thomas rushed for a career-high 193 yards and senior LB Tyler Matakevich made two interceptions, including one in the end zone in the final seconds, as the Temple Owls defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats 34-26 at Nippert Stadium in American Athletic Conference play Saturday night. A crowd of 38,122 came out for the conference opener and saw the Owls defense withstand a late Bearcat surge to go to 2-0 and defeat their division rival for the first time on the road since 1985. Temple took the lead in the first quarter following a Bearcat fumble that gave the Owls the ball on the Cincinnati 45. Initially the Bearcats were ruled to have recovered the ball, but Temple head coach Matt Rhule challenged the call and it was determined that senior DB Will Hayes had recovered. The Owls marched 23 yards in five plays with Austin Jones opening scoring with a 40-yard field goal. The Bearcats put together two prolonged drives, but settled for two Andrew Gantz field goals to take a 6-3 lead in the second quarter. The Owls responded with a drive before the half. Thomas broke off consecutive runs of 12 and 18 yards to get the ball into the red zone. After a delay of game penalty, junior QB Phillip Walker hit Thomas, his high school teammate, for 22 yards down the far sideline for a first-and-goal at the 2. After Thomas plunged for a yard, Walker looked right and hit senior FB Michael Felton in the end zone for a one-yard strike, his first career catch, silencing the white-clad student section in the end zone. Thomas was just getting started. He took the second-half kickoff 100 yards to the house, tying a program record, and stretching the lead to 17-6 before fans could return with their halftime concessions. The Bearcats responded with an 88-yard bomb from Kiel to Mekale McKay to cut the lead. Senior cornerback Tavon Young broke up the two-point conversion try to keep the edge at 17-12. Temple responded with another Thomas run, this time 56 yards to stretch the lead to 24-12. The defense forced another turnover as sophomore DB Sean Chandler batted a ball into the arms of Matakevich, who made a sprawling interception at the Bearcats’ 27. The Owls turned that into Walker’s second TD throw as
he found WR Robby Anderson in the back corner of the end zone from 13 yards out to make it 31-12. An Alex Wells interception on the following Bearcat possession set up a nine-play, 25yard drive that ate up 5:09 and led to Jones’ second field goal of the evening, as he converted from 35 yards. The Bearcats responded with a drive that ended with a Tion Green direct snap from six-yards out to cut the lead to 31-19. Another late drive was thwarted by a second Wells interception and 57-yard return. Kiel led another touchdown drive with a two-yard pass to Shaq Washington that made it 34-26. However, Matakevich recovered the onside kick attempt at the Bearcats’ 45. The game took another twist as Thomas fumbled and the Bearcats recovered. Kiel strung together passes and got his team five yards from a comeback. However, another Chandler tip in the end zone saw the ball fall into the outstretched arms of Matakevich with 13 seconds on the clock. The Owls defense finished the game with five takeaways, including four INTs.

2016 Temple Football Temple 25, UMass 23 September 19, 2015 Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, Mass.
Temple (3-0) UMass (0-2)
OWLS STAY UNBEATEN WITH THRILLING, LAST MINUTE WIN AT UMASS FOXBORO - Junior QB Phillip Walker set a career-high with 391 yards passing and led a last-minute drive that set up sophomore K Austin Jones’ 32-yard game-winning field goal to lift Temple to a 25-23 win over Massachusetts Saturday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. The Owls move to 3-0 on the season for the first time since 2010. Walker, whose 391 passing yards is third most in Temple history, finished the game completing 28 of 48 passes with one touchdown and two interceptions. On the final drive, he hit four key completions, including a 12-yard pass to senior WR John Christopher with 12 seconds left at the UMass 15 yard line to set up Jones’ game-winning kick. After the Minutemen took a 23-20 lead with 1:20 to go, redshirt-junior PDL raise Martin-Oquike blocked the point-after attempt and junior LB Stephaun Marshall recovered before flipping to senior DB Will Hayes took the lateral and returned the ball for a defensive PAT to close the gap to 23-22. The Owls defense, for the second week in a row, made a play when the team needed it. They created two turnovers in the game, including a late interception by Marshall. The defense also held the Minutemen to 45 yards rushing on the afternoon and kept pressure on senior quarterback Blake Frohnapfel. Senior LB Tyler Matakevich registered nine tackles to lead the way while DL Nate D Smith recorded an 11-yard sack to stifle a Minutemen drive in the second half. The team won the time of possession battle in every quarter and finished the game with 35:09 of ball control. Temple jumped out to a 14-0 lead with sophomore WR Adonis Jennings pulling in his first TD reception as an Owl on a 23-yard strike from Walker in the final minutes of the first quarter. Then, following a fumble recovery by senior DL Matt Ioannidis on the ensuing UMass possession, junior RB Jahad Thomas ran 14 yards untouched for the Owls’ second score. The Minutemen responded with a long TD throw from Frohnapfel to Rodney Mills for 46 yards to cut the lead to 14-7. UMass’ Blake Lucas connected from 34 yards out to make it 10-7. Jones matched that for the Owls from 33 yards away to make it 17-10. Frohnapfel then led the hosts down the field, finding Mills for a five yard score to tie the game right before halftime.
55 yards on 13-play, sixplus minute drive to set up Jones for his second field goal of the game, this one from 37-yards out. That would account for all of the scoring until the game’s final minutes as the second half would be a defensive battle. With just under three minutes to play, Marshall picked off Frohnapfel at midfield. It looked then as if the Owls would be able to run out the clock, but Thomas then gave the Minutemen the ball back via a fumble just two plays later. Frohnapfel then led his team on an eight-play, 59 yard drive, hitting Wilson on a 16-yard go-ahead touchdown with 1:20 on the clock to make it 23-20. Martin-Oguike then made the play of the day, blocking the extra point with Marshall and Hayes taking it all the way back for a two-point play to make it 23-22. Walker then led the Owls on a 10-play drive over the final minute and change to set up Jones’ winning kick from the left hash. The Temple QB completed six of nine passes on the winning drive with Jones making his seventh field goal on the season in seven attempts. Thomas, who leads the conference in all-purpose yards, had 164 on the day (66 rushing, 67 receiving, 31 return). Christopher led Temple with seven catches for 72 yards while the offense compiled 458 total yards to UMass’ 438.

OwlSports.com Temple 37, Charlotte 3 October 2, 2015 Jerry Richardson Stadium, Charlotte, N.C. TEMPLE STORMS THROUGH CHARLOTTE TO STAY UNBEATEN CHARLOTTE – The Temple Owls defeated the Charlotte 49ers, 37-3, at a rain-soaked Jerry Richardson Stadium Friday night. A crowd of 13,105 braved the elements and watched the Owls improve to 4-0 (1-0 The American), marking the program’s best start since 1974. Junior RB Jahad Thomas rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns and junior QB Phillip Walker threw two scores to redshirt senior WR Robby Anderson. The defense was impressive all night and held the hosts scoreless in the second half. Junior DL Sharif Finch blocked a punt and DB Nate L. Smith returned it 16 yards for a score. The rain led to some sloppy conditions in the first half. Walker was plagued by receiver drops, but passed Adam DiMichele for fourth place all-time in passing yards with his first completion to WR Brodrick Yancy. Temple’s first long drive led to a 36-yard field goal attempt by Austin Jones. The Owls reliable kicker then missed his first attempt of the season. However, the Owls defense forced a long field goal by 49ers kicker Blake Brewer, but he missed from 55. Temple took the ball and broke the stalemate in the second quarter as Jones connected from 39 yards away. Charlotte drove into the red zone but Brewer’s 26-yard attempt missed. After an exchange of punts, the Owls got down to business. Walker led the Owls on a signature long march, 76 yards in 13 plays, converting three times on third down. Thomas punched in his fourth rushing touchdown of the season to cap the 6:19 drive. Charlotte got on the scoreboard with a 36-yard field goal. With a five-yard tackle for loss to stall the drive, Temple LB Tyler Matakevich passed
Taylor Suman and Al Singleton for third all-time in career tackles. He finished the game with eight tackles, and now has 392 for his Temple career which is the most among active players. As the rain intensified following halftime, so did the Owls. After forcing a threeand-out, the offense took a short field and Thomas scored his second touchdown of the game from one-yard out. The defense forced a second three-andout and another short punt gave the Owls good field position. This time Walker moved the team 39 yards and found Anderson from 11 yards out to make it a 24-3 lead. The defense stood tall again and Finch then made his huge play, blocking Arthur Hart’s punt. Smith corralled and ran it in for a touchdown, the first blocked punt return to paydirt since Samuel Benjamin’s at UCF last season. However, Jones’ extra point was blocked, marking the first miss of his career. Walker led a final scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Following a season-long 74-yard interception return by Nate L. Smith, Walker connected with Anderson again, this time 13 yards for the score. The catch gave Anderson his fourth career multiple touchdown game and his first since the 2013 finale at Memphis. Walker finished the game 11 for 23 with two touchdowns and no interceptions and no sacks. He also rushed four times for 18 yards. Redshirt freshman Frank Nutile finished the game behind center as Owls coach Matt Rhule got many players on the field. That included North Carolina native freshman RB Jager Gardner. The win gave the Owls their first three-game road trip sweep in program history.

Tulane (2-3) Temple (5-0)
TEMPLE RECORDS BEST HOMECOMING VICTORY ON RECORD WITH 49-10 WIN VS. TULANE PHILADELPHIA - Junior QB Phillip Walker threw for 183 yards and two touchdowns while freshman RB Ryquell Armstead rushed for two more, as Temple defeated Tulane, 49-10, on Homecoming at Lincoln Financial Field. The Owls move to 5-0 for the first time since 1974, also improving to 2-0 in The American. Junior RB Jahad Thomas rushed for a touchdown and caught another, while the defense pitched their second consecutive shutout in the second half. After falling behind, 10-7, Temple allowed Tulane just 30 yards of offense the rest of the way, as the Owls won their seventh-consecutive homecoming game with 35,179 on hand. The 39-point margin of victory was the largest Homecoming win for Temple in over 25 years (record only kept back to 1989). Coach Rhule was very pleased with the performance but was more excited to get so many players into the game. “I’m very pleased to get a win at homecoming and improve to 5-0. I’m proud of our team and I though they showed resiliency and made plays when they had to in all three areas; offense, defense and special teams. That was a great win for us in that every kid that could get into the game that was not injured or redshirted. That’s really important to our team to get all those kids [a chance to play in front of our home crowd].” The Green Wave scored first, converting a fumble on the opening possession into a 27-yard field goal by Andrew DiRocco. After trading punts, Walker led the Owls down the field, capping an 80-yard, six-play drive with a touchdown pass to WR Robby Anderson. Anderson had earlier extended the Temple drive with a spectacular sideline catch in double coverage on 3rd-and-12. Tulane answered after the Owls had a punt hit a player downfield and retook the lead, 10-7, on a seven-yard pass by Tanner Lee to Teddy Veal. A miscue on the subsequent kickoff started Temple on their 10 yard line. After a sack and a fumble made it second and 29, Thomas picked up 28 yards up the middle, and added a three-yard run to give the Owls the first down in Tulane territory. Walker followed with a 43-yard strike to redshirt freshman TE Kip Patton, setting up a 10-yard touchdown run from Thomas that made it 14-10. The score kept Thomas’ touchdown streak alive, as the junior has recorded a rushing touchdown in every game this season. On the next possession, the Green Wave botched a punt attempt to put the Owls on the Tulane 12. After a loss by Thomas, Walker picked out his high school teammate
GREATNESS DOESN’T QUIT.
for a 16-yard catch-and-run to push the Temple lead to 21-10. The pass tied Walker with Adam DiMichele for 2nd all-time in Owls’ history. Up 21-10 at the half, the Owls’ defense took over. They forced four three-andouts and limited Tulane to two first downs in the final two quarters. The Temple defensive unit also forced two turnovers, including a 22-yard interception return by sophomore DB Sean Chandler in the third quarter. The score marked the third consecutive game a defensive back has put up points for Temple, which included Will Hayes’ defensive PAT at UMass and Nate L. Smith’s blocked punt return at Charlotte. While the defense subdued the Green Wave, the offense continued to rack up points. Armstead scored his first career touchdown on a 16-yard run to cap a six-play, 70yard drive. After Chandler’s touchdown, junior LB Avery Williams’ first interception of the year set the Owls up on the Tulane 15. Armstead then tallied his second of the game from 16 yards out to make it 42-10. Walker came out for redshirt freshman QB Frank Nutile after the 3rd quarter ended, finishing the game 11-for-15 with 183 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Nutile capped the scoring with his first-career passing touchdown, hitting RB David Hood from 10-yards out. Sophomore K Austin Jones converted all seven extra-point attempts during the game.

TEMPLE TIES BEST START EVER AT 6-0 WITH 30-16 WIN OVER UCF PHILADELPHIA - Junior RB Jahad Thomas set career highs with 31 carries, 199 yards, and three touchdowns to lead Temple to a 30-16 win over visiting UCF in front of 31,372 at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night.
in program history. Miscues hurt the Owls in the middle quarters. After Adonis Jennings blocked a Knights punt, the Owls set up on the Knights’ 29. However, a Walker pass was intercepted and returned 81 yards by UCF’s Shaquill Griffin, cutting the lead to 14-10. A muffed punt by Temple then gave the Knights possession, with Wright adding a second field goal to make it 14-13 at the half.
The Owls tied the best start in school history at 6-0 with the win, matching the 1935, 1945, and 1974 teams. With the victory, Temple became bowl-eligible for the fifth time in the last seven years, while moving to 3-0 in the American Athletic Conference. After the game, Coach Rhule praised the effort of the players. “I’m really happy to be 6-0. For the guys who went 2-10 and didn’t go to a bowl game, for the guys who stuck with us and didn’t quit, for the guys who worked and worked, for the guys who lost this game two years ago to know that they’re 6-0 and bowl eligible, I’m really proud of them. It talks about the character fo the guys on the team.”
lead.
UCF took the lead on the opening drive of the second half thanks to Wright’s third field goal of the evening. The Knights then forced a pair of turnovers and a punt on Temple’s next three possessions and looked poised to keep their
Senior LB Tyler Matakevich made history with his 400th-career tackle, becoming just the third Owl to reach the milestone. He finished the game with eight tackles, three solo, also adding a late interception.
Temple was able to force UCF to punt after the Knights started on the Owls’ 39-yard line, setting up a spectacular return from DB, Sean Chandler. The sophomore scampered for a 65-yard return to UCF’s 21-yard line, electrifying a chilly crowd at “The Linc.” Two plays later, Thomas put the Owls back in front with a 22-yard touchdown run. Walker then found junior TE Colin Thompson for the twopoint conversion and a 22-16 Owls’ advantage.
Temple started the game with a strong drive, capped by Thomas’ first score of the night from 12 yards out. The touchdown was the first for the Owls in an opening drive since October 11, 2014 against Tulsa. Matakevich then made history on the first offensive series for UCF, recording his 400th-career tackle on the first snap. He added tackle number 401 later in the series, as UCF was forced to punt.
Chandler provided another strong return after Temple forced UCF’s fifth three-and-out of the night and the Owls began on the Knights’ 48. Thomas did the leg work, collecting all of the yardage on the drive, capped by his third score of the game, a 21-yard touchdown. Again the Owls went for two, this time it was senior WR John Christopher on the wide-out throwback to Walker, making the lead, 30-16.
After a three-and-out for Temple, Matthew Wright got UCF on the board with a 48-yard field goal. Temple QB Phillip Walker answered for the Owls, marching the offense 86 yards in 10 plays, capped by a touchdown throw to redshirt freshman WR Ventell Bryant. Bryant’s first career score marked the 41st touchdown of Walker’s career, as he passed Adam DiMichele for second all-time
Matakevich then sealed the Temple victory, intercepting a pass on the subsequent Knights’ possession. Temple’s win tonight is the first for the Owls over the Knights in the brief rivalry.

2016 Temple Football #22 Temple 24, East Carolina 14 October 22, 2015 Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, Greenville, N.C. TEMPLE STAYS UNBEATEN FOR SCHOOL RECORD 7-0 START GREENVILLE, N.C. - Redshirt senior WR Robby Anderson and junior RB Jahad Thomas scored late fourth quarter touchdowns to lift #22/24 Temple to a 24-14 come-from-behind win at East Carolina Thursday night at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The win moves Temple to 7-0, the best start in program history, and 4-0 in American Athletic Conference play. Junior QB Phillip Walker was stellar down the stretch, connecting on 19of-35 for 250 yards and one touchdown on the day. It was his 51-yard pass play to Anderson that set-up the Owls’ go-ahead touchdown. Anderson had a season-best eight catches for 126 yards with his one touchdown, a 23-yard reception, with 3:31 to play to give the Cherry and White a 17-14 lead. Junior DL Sharif Finch blocked two punts on the day, the second coming on East Carolina’s ensuing possession to help seal the win. Redshirt freshman WR Ventell Bryant fell on the live ball at the ECU 15, which set up Thomas’ second touchdown of the game, a 14-yard run, making it 24-14.
moved the ball into ECU territory. Then a fourthand-two first down run by Thomas kept the drive alive. Thomas completed the drive with a two-yard TD run to give Temple the lead back at 10-7. East Carolina was not done. On the ensuing possession, the Pirates quickly moved 75 yards on 13 plays to retake the lead, 14-10, right before halftime. Another fourth down completion aided the Pirates, this time Kemp hit Bryce Williams for a 21-yard gain to the Temple 16. Following an incomplete pass, Kemp connected with Jones for nine yards and then Quay Johnson across the middle for a seven-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left. The third quarter, normally the most productive for the Owls, was scoreless for both high-powered offenses. Temple was able to amass just 28 yards offensively. The Owls were set up with good field position after Matakevich picked off Kemp and returned it 26 yards to the ECU 27, but penalties, which plagued the Owls all evening, halted that threat.

On the Pirates’ first possession of the frame, Owls’ redshirt junior LB Stephaun Marshall forced a fumble that was recovered by sophomore DL Jacob Martin at the Temple 45. That set up a Jones field goal attempt from 37 yards out. However, the normally reliable kicker missed the 37-yard FG attempt, his second of the game, after earlier falling short on a 52-yard kick in second quarter.
The Owls now have a two-game lead over East Carolina (4-4, 2-2 American) in the conference’s East Division. Temple also snapped ECU’s streak of 26-straight games that the Pirates had won when leading at halftime.
Finch then partially blocked a punt on the Pirates next drive, but the ball took a favorable bounce for the home team, putting it at the ECU 25 with just under six minutes on the clock.
After a sluggish opening quarter with the only points coming on a 28-yard Austin Jones field goal, both offenses opened things up in the second quarter.
Trailing by three, Walker engineered a crucial seven-play, 71-yard drive which included the 51-yard strike to Anderson, coming on a second and 24 play. Then he hit his favorite target for the go-ahead touchdown, a 23-yarder over the middle.

It took only 73 seconds for the Owls to score again. After the defense again forced a three-and-out, Finch blocked another punt with Bryant coming up with the ball at the 15. Two plays later, both Thomas rushes, the stellar running back found the end zone to seal the victory.
INTERCEPTIONS: Temple - Matakevich 1-26. East Carolina- None.
The Pirates took their first lead on their first drive of the second quarter. Marching 80 yards on 14 plays in its second longest scoring drive of the season, ECU converted a huge fourth and eight play with Blake Kemp (31-48, 272 yds, 1 TD) connecting with Trevon Brown to the Temple 19. Two plays later, Kemp found Isaiah Jones cutting over the middle for a 14-yard completion to the one yard-line. Chris Hairston then plowed it in for a touchdown to give the Pirates a 7-3 advantage.

OwlSports.com #9 Notre Dame 24, #21 Temple 20 October 31, 2015 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa. TEMPLE LOSES LATE TO NOTRE DAME IN BATTLE OF RANKED TEAMS PHILADELPHIA - In a game that was billed by many as Rocky vs. Rudy, #21/22 Temple Football performed much like the fictional Philly boxer, going the distance against #9/9 Notre Dame. As in the movie, it was not enough, as the Irish used a late fourth quarter touchdown to overcome the Owls, 24-20, in front of a record home crowd of 69,280 Saturday Night at Lincoln Financial Field. The game started off uncharacteristically for Temple, as the Irish took the opening kickoff 74 yards on 12 plays with redshirt freshman QB DeShone Kizer rushing in from four yards out to give Notre Dame an early 7-0 lead. It was the first score that Temple’s vaunted defense has allowed on an opening drive this season. Temple answered on its second possession of the game. After holding the Irish to a three-and-out, Temple used good field position, starting at its own 42, to drive the ball to the ND 24. Consecutive first down completions by Walker, first to Bryant for 14 yards, and then to Robby Anderson for 22, helped to set up a season-long 41-yard field goal by sophomore Austin Jones, making the score, 7-3. The Irish looked on the verge of scoring early in the second quarter as Kizer moved the ball into the red zone. Redshirt junior DL Haason Reddick then put pressure on the Notre Dame quarterback, forcing an errant pass that was picked off by redshirt junior DL Praise Martin-Oguike at the Temple six. Walker and the Temple offense then capitalized, marching down the field on an eight-play, 94 yard drive. Thomas showed the college football world his breakout speed, rushing 39 yards to midfield. Walker then connected with Bryant for another big play, 26 yards, to the Notre Dame 24. A pass interference call on a third-and-10 play gave the Owls a first down at the Irish nine. Three plays later, Walker found Brandon Shippen over the middle, and the senior wide receiver hauled it in for the score to give the Cherry and White a 10-7 advantage. Notre Dame then showed why it owns its lofty ranking. Following two short completions, Kizer faked a hand-off up the middle and took the ball around right end and down the sidelines untouched for a 79-yard touchdown run to put the Irish back on top 14-10. After stopping Temple on its next possession, Kizer again took the Irish on a
long drive. With a third and 10 at the TU 11, Matakevich made a big interception after senior DB Tavon Young broke up a pass to end the drive and allow the Owls to go into the locker room trailing by just four points. Notre Dame picked up right where it left off in the second half. Following a Temple three-and-out to start the quarter, the Irish marched 80 yards on 15 plays moving the ball to first and goal at the Owls three. Temple’s defense then put the clamps on the drive, as Notre Dame eventually settled on a 23-yard field goal by Justin Yoon to make it 17-10. Temple finally got its offense back on track with its third drive of the quarter. Led by 27 rushing yards by Thomas and a huge Walker to Anderson 31-yard pass play, the Owls had the ball firstand-goal at the ND seven. A personal foul for targeting on a third down play gave Temple the ball at the four. The Owls finally were able to tie the game following a fourth-and-one play when Walker pitched to Thomas who busted into the end zone for his 13th rushing touchdown of the season (15th overall). With momentum clearly in the Owls’ favor, the defense forced a Notre Dame punt on the ensuing possession, giving Temple the ball at its own 39 with 8:33 remaining. Walker rushed 21 yards on the first play to move the ball into Notre Dame territory. Thomas and freshman RB Ryquell Armstead combined to rush for another first down and then Walker hit Bryant for an 11-yard gain to the Irish 19. The drive stalled there, with Jones coming on to nail a 36-yard field goal and give Temple a 20-17 lead with 4:45 to play. Kizer then proved why he has become one of the top signal callers in the nation. He took just six plays to move his team 75 yards with the big play a 45-yard pass to Alize Jones that gave ND a first down at the Temple 17. Two plays later, he found Will Fuller in the back of the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown to give Notre Dame the lead, 24-20. With 2:02 remaining, the Owls still had time. Walker scrambled 15 yards on the first play to the Temple 39. Three plays later, on a third-and-17, he tossed just his fourth interception of the season, but this one ended the Owls chance of upsetting the ninth-ranked Irish.

2016 Temple Football #22 Temple 60, SMU 40 November 6, 2015 Gerald Ford Stadium, Dallas, Texas
Temple (8-1) SMU (1-8)
TEMPLE WINS TEXAS SHOOTOUT OVER SMU TO STAY UNBEATEN IN CONFERENCE PLAY DALLAS – Junior QB Phillip Walker threw for four touchdowns and ran for another to lead #22 (CFP)/23 (AP)/23 (Amway USA Today) Temple to a 60-40 win at SMU Friday night at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Owls improve to 5-0 in the American Athletic Conference and 8-1 overall with the win. SMU falls to 1-8, 0-5 in league play. Walker completed 18-of-25 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. It was Walker’s fourth four-touchdown passing game, the most by any Owl signal caller. Walker also rushed seven times for 49 yards, including a 36-yard TD to ice the win. True freshman RB Jager Gardner set a school record with a 94-yard touchdown run in his first collegiate start, while junior RB Jahad Thomas tied Bernard Pierce for second on the season touchdown list, scoring his 16th of the year. Thomas kept his scoring streak alive, recording a rushing TD in all nine games for the Owls this season. The Owls, who led for all but seven minutes in the contest, played without injured senior center Kyle Friend, who had his streak of 41 straight starts snapped. It marks only the third time Temple has scored 60 or more points since the program turned Division I-A in 1971 (63 at Army, 11/17/11; 63 at Holy Cross, 9/29/73). It is also just the third time the Owls and an opponent combined to score 100 or more points during this era [107; Temple 55, Eastern Michigan 52; (11/22/08); 105; Pitt 53, Temple 52; (10/5/96)]. The game started off with a bang for the Owls as Gardner made an immediate impact, rushing up the middle on the game’s second play. The Black Mountain, N.C. native accelerated through a gaping hole created by offensive linemen Brian Carter and Eric Lofton for a 94 yard touchdown. It was the longest run from scrimmage in school history, and it gave Temple an early 7-0 lead. The Owls quickly made it 14-0 before SMU ran off 17 unanswered points over a 10-minute stretch in the second quarter. Temple responded, as Walker then engineered a 10-play, 75-yard drive capped with a 16-yard pass to WR Romond Deloatch for his first touchdown of the season. The score gave the Owls a 21-17 lead at halftime. The second half was an old-fashioned shootout with Temple scoring on its first four possessions to take what looked to be a safe 45-31 lead. Adonis Jennings, one of 10 different receivers to catch a pass from Walker, scored on a four-yard reception to open the half. That capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive that was kept alive by a fake punt and first down carry by PK Tyler Mayes. After Jones answered with his second score of the game, this time rushing in from nine-yards out to make it 28-24, Walker directed another 75-yard scoring drive. This one encompassed seven plays with a 45-yard pass to Anderson setting up a two-yard Thomas rushing touchdown. Junior LB Jarred Alwan forced his team-best third fumble on the Mustangs next possession with senior DL Matt Ioannidis recovering on the SMU 13. The Mustangs defense held the Owls out of the end zone, but sophomore PK Austin Jones connected on his 13th field goal of the season, this one from 31 yards out, to make it 38-24. Davis answered right back for SMU as he marched his team 77 yards to paydirt to open what would be a wacky fourth quarter. The Mustang quarterback connected with Jeremiah Gaines on a 30-yard touchdown to make it 38-31. It took Walker just one play to match Davis. The Owl quarterback hit redshirt freshman WR Ventell Bryant in stride down the right

side for a 75-yard touchdown to again push the lead back to 14 points at 45-31. After Temple forced a SMU punt on the next possession it looked the nationally-ranked Owls would coast to victory. Mustang punter Josh Williams, however, pinned Temple inside its one yard-line to start the drive. Unable to make a first down, the Owls set up to punt in their own end zone and with the penalty occurring in the end zone, a safety was called. Mayes then kicked off from the Temple 20, and it was returned 80 yards for a touchdown by West. So suddenly, instead of being up by 14 points, the Owls were clinging to a 45-40 lead with just over eight minutes on the clock and momentum on the side of the home team Following a first down to the SMU 26, the Owls defense clamped down, forcing a fourthand-four play. Senior All-America candidate LB Tyler Matakevich, who made a game-high nine tackles, came up with the big play, batting down Davis’ pass for a turnover on downs. With 2:41 to play, Temple was unable to muster a first down on the first two plays. Facing a third-and-14, Walker dropped back to pass, but scrambled to not only pick up the critical first down, but to ice the win with a 36-yard touchdown. Down 53-40, Davis went to the air and was picked off by sophomore DB Sean Chandler, who took it 41 yards to account for the final score. He became the eighth different Owl to score a touchdown on the night.

Temple (8-2) USF (6-4)
WITH CHANCE TO CAPTURE EAST DIVISION CROWN, TEMPLE SUFFERS FIRST CONFERENCE LOSS AT USF TAMPA, Fla. – USF used an explosive first half offense, handing visiting #22 Temple its first American Athletic Conference loss of the season, 44-23, Saturday night at Raymond James Stadium. The Owls fall to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in conference play while the Bulls, who won for the fourth time in their last five games, improve to 6-4 and 4-2 in the conference. It was the sophomore tandem of QB Quinton Flowers and RB Marlon Mack that proved to be too much for the Temple defense. The Bulls used big plays on three of their four first half touchdowns with the other being set up by an interception returned to the Owls five yard-line. Trailing 31-10 at the half, Temple scored 10 quick points to cut the deficit to 31-20. USF tacked on two field goals and a late touchdown to hold off the visitors and move within one game of the Owls in the East Division race. Junior RB Jahad Thomas became the 10th Temple player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season during the game. He had his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, which ties him for third best on the Temple single-season list. Thomas also continues his streak of scoring at least one rushing TD in every game this year. Junior Phillip Walker became the second Temple quarterback (Henry Burris, ‘93-96) to pass for over 2,000 yards in three straight seasons. Temple looked sharp to start the game as the Owls moved the ball to the USF 22 on a 17-play drive. The drive was aided by a fake punt on a fourth-and-one at the Temple 40 with the snap going to junior LB Jarred Alwan, who rushed four yards for the first down. When the drive stalled at the 22, normally reliable sophomore PK Austin Jones hit the upright on his 39-yard attempt. The Owls capitalized on their next possession, taking a 7-0 lead on a one-yard TD run by Thomas. Walker hit redshirt senior WR Robby Anderson on a 22-yard pass play before Thomas broke off a 35-yard rush that lifted him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. A pass interference call put the ball at the USF 5 and three plays later Thomas found the end zone. It took USF just one play to answer as Flowers connected with Rodney Adams on a 68-yard touchdown pass. That play swung the momentum to the Bulls as Deatri Nichols picked off Walker on the next play, the first of the second quarter, and returned it to the TU 5. Again it took one play for USF to score, this time with Flowers rushing it in from five yards out to make it 14-10. Freshman Jager Gardner returned the ensuing kickoff 54 yards to the Bulls 40. The Owls picked up three straight rushing first downs before the Bulls held tight at their own 16. Jones connected on his 33-yard attempt this time to cut the deficit to 14-10. It was then all USF the rest of the half. First Mack broke off a 57-yard TD run and followed that with a 20-yard TD reception from Flowers to make it 28-10. Flowers set that
score up with a 42-yard run of his own. Emil Nadelman capped the scoring with a career-best 47-yard field goal just before intermission. The Owls came out of the locker room like gangbusters. Redshirt junior DL Praise Martin-Oguike forced and recovered a fumble on the first play to give Temple the ball at the USF 26. Following a Thomas first down run, Walker hit Tampa native Ventell Bryant (5 catches, 86 yards) for a 14-yard TD reception. Temple’s defense quickly forced a punt and the Owls offense was back in business. Walker scrambled for a 38-yard first down run to the USF 22. Thomas then rushed seven yards to the 15, but Eric Lee sacked Walker on the next play and the Cherry and White settled on a 35-yard Jones field goal to cut the deficit to 31-20.

2016 Temple Football Temple 31, #21 Memphis 12 November 21, 2015 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa. RECORD SETTING PERFORMANCES AS TEMPLE UPSETS #21 MEMPHIS; MAINTAIN CONTROL OF EAST DIVISION PHILADELPHIA - Junior QB Phillip Walker set the Temple career passing touchdown record and senior LB Tyler Matakevich became just the seventh FBS player to record 100 tackles in four seasons, leading Temple to an impressive 31-12 win over #21 Memphis in front of 31,708 fans at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday. The win moves the Owls to 9-2 overall (6-1 American) and keeps the Cherry and White one game ahead of USF (7-4, 5-2) for the East Division title. Memphis lost its third straight game to fall to 8-3, 4-3. “That was a great win and a great day,” said head coach Matt Rhule. “The challenge this week was to our seniors to take the team to another level. By that, I mean winning big games down the stretch, not being distracted, responding to adversity, and we felt like we were prepared for it. Everything that we have been through has led us to this moment to play really well.” Walker, who completed 14 of 26 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns, played nearly flawless in directing the Owls to 461 yards of total offense in a must-win game. The junior also rushed for 49 yards on seven carries. Matakevich, who earlier in the week was named a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski award, led an Owl defense, which held the high-scoring Tiger offense to just 12 points, with 11 tackles. The senior from Stratford, Conn. is the only FBS player to have led his team in tackles in every game this season. Temple’s defense never played better, holding Memphis out of the end zone for the first time all season and snapping junior QB Paxton Lynch’s streak of 15 straight games with a TD pass. The Owls also held the Tigers to 232 yards of total offense, their lowest number of the season (previous low of 425), which was over 300 less than their average (541) entering play. The Tigers’ 12 points were also 31.7 below their nation’s sixth best scoring average (43.7 ppg.). Matakevich and Walker were hardly the only stars of the game. They were just the only one recording milestones in this monumental win for Temple. A win that tied the 1973, 2009, and 2011 squads for second most wins in program history, and one shy of the school record set in 1979 when that Owl team posted a 10-2 record.
other heroes. It was his acrobatic 13-yard touchdown reception that gave Temple the lead, 7-6, with 8:14 remaining in the half. It was a lead the Owls would never relinquish. Redshirt freshman RB David Hood, who entered the game with just 76 yards rushing, had a career and team high 61 yards on 14 carries, including a 14-yard TD run on the Owls’ next possession to make it 14-6. That score was set up by a Walker to senior WR Brandon Shippen 49-yard reception to the Memphis 15. Memphis cut the deficit to 14-9 right before the half on a 44-yard field goal by Jake Elliott. The Tigers had a chance to get even closer early in the third quarter as sophomore Alex Starzyk fumbled the ball while punting with his attempt hitting the back of a teammate and being recovered by Memphis on the Temple 21. The Owl defense held strong, forcing another Elliot field goal attempt. The Memphis kicker, however, hit the right upright. Memphis then forced a turnover on downs on the Owls next possession to give the Tigers the ball at the Temple 44. Lynch directed the Tiger offense to the Temple 18, but sophomore DB Sean Chandler (9 tackles) sacked the Memphis signal-caller on a third down play to force an Elliott field goal attempt. This time the Tiger kicker was true from 39 yards to make it 14-12. Temple then took control in the fourth quarter. Redshirt freshman TE Kip Patton took a handoff from Walker and ran around the right corner for a 13-yard touchdown on the first play of the frame to give the Owls a two-score lead, 21-12. After the defense held Memphis to a three-and-out, Walker directed the Owls on a 13-play, 62-yard drive with sophomore PK Austin Jones drilling a 35-yard field goal to make it 24-12. The defense again came up big on the Tigers next possession, forcing a turnover on downs with a stop of Paxton on a fourth-and-one from the Memphis 37. Five plays later Walker made them pay, hitting Saledeem Major for a 19-yard touchdown. It was the first career touchdown for the redshirt senior tight end and the record 50th passing TD for the junior QB from Elizabeth, N.J.
Redshirt junior WR Romond Deloatch was one of those

OwlSports.com #25 Temple 27, UConn 3 November 28, 2015 Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pa. DEFENSE STIFLES UCONN; WINS EAST DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP ON SENIOR NIGHT PHILADELPHIA - Senior Night is always special, but Saturday night was spectacular for the 22 seniors playing their final home game for Temple Football. These Owls helped their team post a dominating 27-3 win over visiting UConn at Lincoln Financial Field. The win clinched the American Athletic Conference East Division title and secured the Owls (10-2, 7-1) a spot in the inaugural Conference Championship game at West Division winner Houston (10-2, 7-1). It was also the 10th win of the season, tying the overall school-record set by the 1979 Cherry and White squad.
redshirt junior WR Romond Deloatch. Thomas’s first score came on Temple’s second drive. The junior running back made bursts of eight and 16 yards to start the Owl drive, which began at the UConn 49 due to a shanked Huskie punt. Deloatch then made a 16-yard reception to the UConn 9 before Thomas broke free for a nine-yard touchdown. Walker then led Temple on an 11-play, 56-yard drive midway through the second quarter to setup a 20yard field goal by sophomore Austin Jones to make it 10-0. Senior WR Brandon Shippen made three of his season-high four receptions in the drive.
The Owls’ defense held an opponent without a touchdown for the second-straight game. Led by senior All-America candidate Tyler Matakevich’s 11 tackles, the Cherry and White limited the Huskies offense to a mere 138 yards and nine first downs. The Owls also had 11 tackles for loss with the front seven allowing just nine rushing yards.
Jones would add another field goal, this one from 37 yards out, on Temple’s first possession of the second half to make it 13-0. It was his 18th field goal (on 23 attempts) of the season, ranking third on Temple’s single-season list behind Don Bitterlich (21 of 31, 1975) and Bob Wright (19 of 25, 1990).
Temple did not allow a first down on eight of UConn’s 11 drives. The Huskies did not get on the scoreboard until their final drive when they settled on a 45-yard field goal by Bobby Puyol rather then being dealt a shutout.
After holding UConn to a second straight three-and-out to start the half, Walker directed the Owls on a 63-yard drive, hitting Deloatch for his third TD reception of the season on just 12 catches.
The Owls defense also forced two turnovers. Junior LB Jarred Alwan forced a second quarter fumble that was recovered by redshirt junior LB Stephaun Marshall while sophomore DB Sean Chandler made his fourth interception of the season in the fourth quarter.
Thomas then broke the game wide open with a 60-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter to make it 27-0. The TD run moved him into sole possession of the number two spot on the single-season list for rushing touchdowns behind Bernard Pierce (27, 2011). Thomas also moved into seventh place on the single-season rushing yardage list and now has 1,188 yards on the season.
Offensively, junior Jahad Thomas scored the first and last touchdown for Temple, his 16th and 17th rushing TDs of the season. Junior QB Phillip Walker completed 19 of 29 passes for 160 yards, including a six-yard TD pass to

HOUSTON, WARD, JR. PROVE TO BE TOO MUCH IN AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP HOUSTON -- An early 17-0 deficit proved to be too much for #22 Temple football, as #19 Houston upended the Owls, 24-13, to capture the American Athletic Conference crown on their home turf. The title game, the first ever for Temple, was played in front of 35,721 at Houston’s TDECU Stadium. The Owls, who are also ranked 20th in the AP poll and 21st in the Coaches poll, fall to 10-3 with the loss, but will make their first bowl appearance since 2011. Houston (17 AP/18 Coaches) improves to 12-1, winning its first conference title since nabbing the top spot in Conference USA in 2006. On the legs of Houston QB Greg Ward Jr., the West Division Champion Cougars rushed for 253 yards. Temple held Ward to 88 yards in the air, but the QB rushed for 148 yards, becoming the only quarterback in Houston history to accumulate over 1,000 yards on the ground in a season. Temple QB Phillip Walker finished the game 26-of-44 for 287 yards with one touchdown and an interception, and in the process became the Temple career leader in pass completions (559). He passed Henry Burris for the honor. Owls’ WR Robby Anderson became the 10th Temple player in program history with 100 catches in a career, notching a season-best 150 yards receiving on 12 catches with a score. The Owls started the game with a 17-yard drive before Walker’s pass was intercepted by Houston’s Tyus Bowser. The Cougars then mounted a 10-play, 36-yard drive, which ended on a 1-yard TD run by Javin Webb, to take a 7-0 lead with under five minutes elapsed. After RB Jager Gardner took the kickoff 24 yards, Temple put together a 47-yard drive down to the 11-yard line. However, Houston’s Trevon Stewart punched the ball out of Anderson’s hands after a 14-yard pass inside the red zone, giving the Cougars another possession. Houston took the turnover 39 yards, including a 27-yard pass from Ward to Chance Allen, but the Owls forced the Cougars to punt. Temple LB Stephaun Marshall got the key stop on the drive, as he tackled Demarcus Ayers causing him to drop what would have been a first down conversion. After the teams exchanged punts, Houston took a 10-0 lead when Ty Cummings finished off a nine-play, 42-yard drive with a 24-yard field goal.
another Temple punt. Ward got the score for Houston on a 47-yard quarterback keep, making it a 17-point lead for the hosts with 5:32 left in the first half. Temple put points on the board with less than two minutes to go in the half on a 40-yard field goal by PK Austin Jones. The field goal gave Jones his 19th of the year, tying him for second with Bob Wright for field goals made in a season. The kick also notched his 100th point as an Owl, passing former Temple great, Brandon McManus. Temple’s defense forced the Cougars to punt to start the third quarter. On the Owls’ first possession of the frame, Walker completed a 41-yard pass to Anderson down to the Houston 35-yard line. However, facing a 4th and 4, Walker’s pass was batted down to give the Cougars possession at their own 29-yard line. The Cougars then marched the ball down the field 71 yards, using an 25-yard rush by Ward and a 18-yard reverse pass from Linell Bonner to Tyler McCloskey. That play set up a 10-yard touchdown rush from Ward to put Houston up 24-3. On their next possession, the Owls used a 10-play, 75yard drive that ended on a 13-yard pass from Walker to Anderson, cutting the lead to 24-10. The Owls defense forced a Houston three-and-out and a punt from the end zone that landed at the Temple 49. After converting a fourth-and-one from the Houston 30, the Owls settled for a 39-yard field goal from Jones to bring the score to 24-13. The Temple defense forced another three-and-out, giving the Owls just half a field to play with after the punt. A pass interference call on Houston’s William Jackson III gave the Owls a first down at the Cougars 45 to start the drive, but from there, the Owls turned the ball over on downs after a ball floated behind WR Adonis Jennings on fourth and third. Temple got the ball back one more time on offense, starting on their own 17 with 5:14 on the clock. The Owl drive got to the Houston 33 yard-line, thanks to 19+ yard plays from both RB Jahad Thomas and WR Romond Deloatch. However, a 4th-and-11 scramble from Walker fell two yards shy, as Houston took over on downs, sealing the victory.
The Cougars then extended their lead to 17-0 following

American Athletic conference game In an action-packed # - homecoming erican Athletic conference championship fourth quarter, Temple fiarmot Boca Raton Bowl, Boca Raton, Fla. nally found the end zone, avoiding being held without a touchdown for the first time all season. The Owls made things interesting, converting an improbable two-point conversion to make it an eight-point game, but an on-side kick attempt was recovered by Toledo. The Rockets tacked on one more score and the Owls final drive stalled, ending the game. Senior WR Brandon Shippen set a career-high with 70 yards receiving on four catches to lead the Owls, while classmate Robby Anderson finished with six catches for 66 yards. QB Phillip Walker went 23-42 for 236 yards and one interception. The Owls were without the services of leading rusher Jahad Thomas, CB Tavon Young and LB Avery Williams, who exited the game at the half. They entered the game without Alex Wells as the first team all-conference safety suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the week.. After the teams traded punts to open up the game, Temple pinned Toledo to their own 1-yard line, giving the Owls good field position after forcing yet another Rockets’ punt. Starting at their own 48-yard line, Temple used a 13-play 40-yard drive, ending with a 29-yard Austin Jones field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 1:13 left in the quarter. Temple forced a three-and-out on Toledo’s next possession, but the Rockets got on the board after a fumble from RB Jahad Thomas squirted out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Leading 3-2, Toledo took the free kick out to their own 45, and took the lead after a five-play 55-yard drive. The score came on a 26-yard touchdown from Phillip Ely to Corey Jones, giving Toledo a 9-3 lead with 12:16 remaining in the second quarter. Toledo tacked on a field goal as time expired to take a 12-3 lead into halftime. The Rockets forced a three-and-out from Temple, taking over at their own 42yard line. Two big plays, including a 26-yard pass from Ely to Michael Roberts put Toledo in field goal range, where Jameson Vest made it a nine-point lead with a 38-

yard field goal. Temple opened the second half with an eightplay 67-yard drive, capped by an Austin Jones field goal, cutting the lead to 126. A 40-yard pass from QB Phillip Walker to WR Ventell Bryant and a 13-yard rush from Brandon Shippen, set up Jones for a 25-yard FG, his 22nd of the year, setting a new single-season school record. Jones passed Don Bitterlich’s 1975 total. The Owls forced a three-and-out on Toledo’s next possession, and then set up yet another Jones field goal. Sean Chandler started the Owls at midfield with a 12-yard punt return and Walker added a 14-yard rush to set up Jones’ score, which put Temple within a field goal (12-9) with 6:11 remaining in the third. Toledo marched down the field on their next possession, getting to Temple’s 44-yard line. On a 3rd and 12, Temple SS Nate L. Smith broke up a pass in the end zone, keeping Toledo off the board. The teams traded punts to open the fourth quarter, with Alex Starzyk booting a career-best 71-yarder for Temple. However, the kick was out of the reach of the Temple defense, trickling into the end zone for a touchback. On the next play, Toledo’s Ely found Cody Thompson for an 80-yard touchdown, making it 19-9 Rockets with 12:41 to play. Temple got down to the Toledo 34 on its next possession, but Walker was intercepted by the Rockets’ Juwan Haynes at the 26-yard line. From there, Toledo put together a 74-yard drive that took 5:31 off the clock, ending with a 1-yard TD run from Kareem Hunt. The Owls blocked the extra point, setting the score to 25-9 with 5:46 to play. After the Toledo score, Temple recorded its first touchdown of the game, capping an 11-play, 68-yard drive with a two-yard run from TE Kip Patton. Shippen had two big catches on the drive, and was thrown to as Toledo was flagged for pass interference in the end zone, setting up the touchdown. Temple elected to go for two, and Walker scrambled out of pressure and somehow found Anderson in the end zone, making it an eightpoint game, 25-17, with 2:50 on the clock. Temple went for the onside kick, but the referees signaled that Toledo came up with the ball under a pile of players at midfield. Hunt then tacked on an insurance score for the Rockets, scoring from 41-yards out to put the game out of reach at 32-17 with just 2:29 on the clock. The Owls had one more possession before the clock ran out, but the drive stalled at the Toledo 27-yard line, ending the game 32-17 in Toledo’s favor.

That doesn’t even take into account three different helmet stickers and various sock patterns, virtually allowing the Owls to wear something new and fresh each game. Through 14 games in 2015, the Owls wore 10 different combinations.

2016 Temple Football
THE EVOLUTION OF THE HELMET The Temple “T” once again adorns the football team’s helmets, beginning in 2011. The helmet features a white “T” and a white face mask on a cherry shell. The helmet is strikingly similar to the one the team wore from 1989-95 and 2004-06. The true shade of the “Temple cherry red”color was adopted by the Department of Athletics in 1996. For 30 straight seasons, from 1966 to 1995, the Owls’ helmets consisted of cherry shells. Temple switched to a white shell in 1996, sporting a helmet adorned with the flying “dominant owl” logo and featuring a black face mask. The program has worn helmets featuring both white and cherry shells with various stripes, lettering, face masks and logos since its inaugural season in 1894.

2016 Temple Football #13 Tulane 20, #3 Temple 14 Janary 1, 1935 Tulane Stadium, New Orleans, La.
1935 Sugar Bowl NEW ORLEANS, La. — The Mid-Winter Sports Association of New Orleans was formed in 1934 to formulate plans for an annual New Year’s Day football classic. On Dec. 2, 1934, the Association’s executive board selected Tulane (9-1), unbeaten in the South, and unbeaten Temple (7-0-2), coached by Glenn “Pop” Warner, to play in the first game. The game was a financial and artistic success; however, the final 20–14 result was a heartbreaker for Temple fans. The Owls built up a 14-point lead only to see Tulane score touchdowns in the second, third, and fourth quarters to win the game. The inaugural Sugar Bowl turned into a contest between two All-Americans—Temple’s Dave Smukler (who played all 60 minutes) and Tulane’s Claude “Monk” Simons. After the Owls’ Danny Testa scored the first touchdown in Sugar Bowl history with a seven-yard TD reception from Smukler. Smukler rushed for second score. With Smukler converting both extra points, the Owls were up 14–0. On the next kickoff, Johnny McDaniel received the ball and lateraled to Simons, who scampered 85 yards for a touchdown. The Owls held a 14-7 edge at halftime. Dick Hardy scored the tying touchdown in the third quarter on an 11-yard pass from Bucky Bryan. With less than three minutes left, Hardy notched the game-winning score on a 43-yard reception in the end zone. Temple blocked the extra point attempt, but was unable to score on its final drive. The hometown team would go on to win the first Sugar Bowl. Tulane Stadium served as home for the Sugar Bowl until 1975 when it moved to its present site— the Louisiana Superdome.

1979 Garden State Bowl EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Temple ended its most successful season with its first-ever bowl victory. It was the Owls’ 10th win of the year (a team record) and earned Wayne Hardin’s team a spot in the AP and UPI Top 20. Temple was ranked 17th in both polls, the first time the Temple football team was nationally ranked in the final wire service polls. Appearing in their first bowl game in 45 years, the Owls jumped out to a quick 21–0 lead in the first quarter, scoring on their first three possessions. Kevin Duckett scored the first two TDs on eight and four-yard runs. QB Brian Broomell connected on a seven-yard pass to Wiley Pitts for the third score. TU had 193 yards of total offense, including 150 yards rushing, in the opening stanza. Temple then withstood a 17-point California rally before clinching the game with a 14-play, 78-yard scoring drive over 5:58 in the fourth quarter. Broomell tossed a five-yard touchdown pass to Gerald “Sweet Feet” Lucear for the win. The telling statistic of the game was the rushing total, with Temple gaining 300 yards on the ground while holding the Golden Bears to only 23 yards. The game’s Most Valuable Player, Temple’s Mark Bright, gained 112 of those yards on 19 carries, while backfield teammate Kevin Duckett ran for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Temple quarterback Brian Broomell joined in the act by tossing touchdown strikes to Wiley Pitts and Gerald Lucear.

Admission prices were $5 and $12. • After four years (1978-81), the Garden State Bowl was discontinued. That led to the formation of the Kickoff Classic, held at Giants Stadium to begin the football season.

2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl ALBUQUERQUE-Temple used three one-yard touchdown runs to jump out to a 21-0 lead over Wyoming and never looked back in posting a 37-15 over the Cowboys to win the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 17 in front of 25,762. It is the second bowl game victory in program history and first since Temple defeated California, 28-17, in the 1979 Garden State Bowl. The Owls finished the season on a four-game win streak at 9-4 overall. The win also extended Temple’s Senior Class record to 31 wins over the last four seasons. ‘I’m awful proud of our seniors, some great accomplishments from them,” head coach Steve Addazio said. “That is our first bowl win since 1979 and our ninth win of the year for our seniors, their 31st win. It meant an awful lot to our program and our university.” Sophomore QB Chris Coyer was named the game’s Offensive MVP, and senior LB Tahir Whitehead earned Defensive MVP honors. Coyer, showing no ill effects from a shoulder injury suffered in the team’s final regular-season game against Kent State, was flawless directing the Temple attack. He completed eight of 12 passes for 169 yards and one touchdown and also rushed for 71 yards on 12 carries. Whitehead, a second team All-MAC performer, had a team-high 11 tackles, leading an Owl defensive unit that allowed just 267 yards to the Cowboys. Junior RB Bernard Pierce set the tone early for the Owls. Pierce, who rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on the day, had eight carries for 31 yards in Temple’s opening drive. His last carry was a one-yard touchdown. That capped a 13-play, 90-yard drive that lasted 6:19 seconds. Wyoming then marched down the field on an 11play drive of its own, but junior FS Vaughn Carraway batted away a pass by freshman QB Brett Smith on a third and 16 play. Freshman PK Daniel Sullivan was then wide right on his 49-yard field goal giving the Owls the ball back on their own 31. Senior WR Joe Jones broke a 35-yard run off a reverse on the first play of the Owls’ second drive. It was one of nine straight rushes against the Cowboys 115th ranked rush defense. The last run was another Pierce one-yard TD, to make it 14-0 with 14:28 to play in the half. Senior CB Kee-ayre Griffin then intercepted a Smith pass and returned it 30 yards to the Wyoming 35. Pierce and Coyer each had 12 yard first down runs before junior RB Matt Brown finished the drive with a one-yard TD run, making it 21-0. The Cowboys finally got on the scoreboard as Smith connected with freshman WR Josh Doctson on a 21-yard touchdown on a 4th-and-three play with 37 seconds left in the half. The Owls answered in one play as Coyer found a wide-open senior WR Rod Streater down the right sideline for a 61-yard touchdown to give Temple a 28-7 lead at halftime and momentum heading into the lockerroom. Temple controlled the game on both sides of the ball in the second half. The only scoring for the Owls
came on the foot of junior PK Brandon McManus, who connected on three of three field goals. Wyoming finally found the end zone again with three seconds on the clock. when Smith hit Kody Sutton for 14-yard touchdown.

The Owls made things interesting, converting an improbable two-point conversion to make it an eight-point game, but an on-side kick attempt was recovered by Toledo. The Rockets tacked on one more score and the Owls final drive stalled, ending the game. Senior WR Brandon Shippen set a career-high with 70 yards receiving on four catches to lead the Owls, while classmate Robby Anderson finished with six catches for 66 yards. QB Phillip Walker went 23-42 for 236 yards and one interception. The Owls were without the services of leading rusher Jahad Thomas, CB Tavon Young and LB Avery Williams, who exited the game at the half. They entered the game without Alex Wells as the first team all-conference safety suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the week.. After the teams traded punts to open up the game, Temple pinned Toledo to their own 1-yard line, giving the Owls good field position after forcing yet another Rockets’ punt. Starting at their own 48-yard line, Temple used a 13-play 40-yard drive, ending with a 29-yard Austin Jones field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 1:13 left in the quarter. Temple forced a three-and-out on Toledo’s next possession, but the Rockets got on the board after a fumble from RB Jahad Thomas squirted out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Leading 3-2, Toledo took the free kick out to their own 45, and took the lead after a five-play 55-yard drive. The score came on a 26-yard touchdown from Phillip Ely to Corey Jones, giving Toledo a 9-3 lead with 12:16 remaining in the second quarter. Toledo tacked on a field goal as time expired to take a 12-3 lead into halftime. The Rockets forced a three-and-out from Temple, taking over at their own 42yard line. Two big plays, including a 26-yard pass from Ely to Michael Roberts put Toledo in field goal range, where Jameson Vest made it a nine-point lead with a 38-

yard field goal. Temple opened the second half with an eightplay 67-yard drive, capped by an Austin Jones field goal, cutting the lead to 12-6. A 40-yard pass from QB Phillip Walker to WR Ventell Bryant and a 13yard rush from Brandon Shippen, set up Jones for a 25-yard FG, his 22nd of the year, setting a new single-season school record. Jones passed Don Bitterlich’s 1975 total. The Owls forced a three-and-out on Toledo’s next possession, and then set up yet another Jones field goal. Sean Chandler started the Owls at midfield with a 12-yard punt return and Walker added a 14-yard rush to set up Jones’ score, which put Temple within a field goal (12-9) with 6:11 remaining in the third. Toledo marched down the field on their next possession, getting to Temple’s 44-yard line. On a 3rd and 12, Temple SS Nate L. Smith broke up a pass in the end zone, keeping Toledo off the board. The teams traded punts to open the fourth quarter, with Alex Starzyk booting a career-best 71-yarder for Temple. However, the kick was out of the reach of the Temple defense, trickling into the end zone for a touchback. On the next play, Toledo’s Ely found Cody Thompson for an 80-yard touchdown, making it 19-9 Rockets with 12:41 to play. Temple got down to the Toledo 34 on its next possession, but Walker was intercepted by the Rockets’ Juwan Haynes at the 26-yard line. From there, Toledo put together a 74-yard drive that took 5:31 off the clock, ending with a 1-yard TD run from Kareem Hunt. The Owls blocked the extra point, setting the score to 25-9 with 5:46 to play. After the Toledo score, Temple recorded its first touchdown of the game, capping an 11-play, 68-yard drive with a two-yard run from TE Kip Patton. Shippen had two big catches on the drive, and was thrown to as Toledo was flagged for pass interference in the end zone, setting up the touchdown. Temple elected to go for two, and Walker scrambled out of pressure and somehow found Anderson in the end zone, making it an eightpoint game, 25-17, with 2:50 on the clock. Temple went for the onside kick, but the referees signaled that Toledo came up with the ball under a pile of players at midfield. Hunt then tacked on an insurance score for the Rockets, scoring from 41-yards out to put the game out of reach at 32-17 with just 2:29 on the clock. The Owls had one more possession before the clock ran out, but the drive stalled at the Toledo 27-yard line, ending the game 32-17 in Toledo’s favor.

2016 Temple Football LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD Lincoln Financial Field, home to the National Football League’s Philadephia Eagles, is a prime destination for world-class entertainment, providing the highest quality sports and entertainment experiences for fans in a safe, clean and friendly environment. In addition to Temple Football’s home games, Lincoln Financial Field hosts 10 Eagles games each year and continues to showcase high-profile sporting events and unique experiences year-round. Since opening in August 2003, Lincoln Financial Field has hosted nearly 20 sold-out concerts, has welcomed some of the world’s most distinguished soccer clubs and also serves as the home to the historic Army-Navy game. Additionally, the stadium has hosted multiple NCAA Lacrosse Championships, as well as Monster Jam and many other marquee events. On August 13, 2003, the Philadelphia Eagles and Temple University announced a 15-year pact for the Owls to play their home football games at Lincoln Financial Field. An average of 24,137 fans per game witnessed the Cherry & White in its inaugural season at the venue, a 21 percent increase from the prior year’s average. In 2015, Temple set a record with an average of 44,158 spectators per game including a record home crowd of 69,280 on October 31 when the #21 Owls hosted #9 Notre Dame in Temple’s first-ever ranked vs. ranked game. Familiarly known as The Linc, it has a seating capacity of 69,596. The stadium is located in South Philadelphia on Pattison Avenue between 11th and 10th Streets, closer to the area’s stretch of Interstate 95 than to Pattison. In 2011, the stadium became powered with a combination of onsite wind, solar, and dual-fuel generated electricity, making it the world’s first major sports stadium to convert to self-generated renewable energy. Approximately $25 million was invested to build the system, saving the Eagles an estimated $60 million in energy costs. In August 2014, the Eagles completed a $125 million revitalization project to ensure that guests of Lincoln Financial Field are enjoying their in-stadium experience through enhanced convenience, comfort and connectivity.
EDBERG-OLSON HALL Edberg-Olson Hall is the home of the Temple University football program. Officially dedicated on December 9, 2000, the facility was designed by AP3C Architects of Philadelphia. The building was engineered to not only support the football team’s functional requirements, but to enhance the experience through innovative design concepts. During the season, approximately 250 people will pass through its doors on a daily basis. In 2012, Edberg-Olson Hall underwent a $10 million upgrade with a 15,000-square-foot expansion. The original 23,600-square-foot building contains team and coaches locker rooms, a training room, equipment facilities, coach’s offices, a players’ lounge, individual position meeting rooms, and a theater-style team meeting room. Opened in July 2012, the upgrade has a strength and conditioning area that expanded from 2,500 square feet to 10,000 square feet. The expansion also features an enlarged sports medicine office with hydrotherapy, a full-service academic support area, and a 3,500-square-foot team function room. An observation balcony runs the length of the building. It is the perfect complement to a gridiron landscape outside featuring over 100,000 square feet of Sprinturf and 24,000 square feet of Astroturf. Eight, 85-foot poles providing 85 candles of white rendition light line the perimeter of the complex. Powder-coated cyclone fences provide privacy. In 2014, Edberg Olson received a facelift. As part of a $1.5 million capital project that upgraded the locker rooms for all 19 Temple varsity sports, the football facility installed 125 new lockers and flatscreen televisions. In addituion, updated graphics adorn the walls throughout the hallways and in the weight room.
THE PAVILION The Pavilion Athletic Facility, which is utilized by football, field hockey, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, is a 32,000-square foot multi-purpose field. The facility, which is available as an auxiliary training site for the remainder of Temple’s 19 varsity athletic programs, features Field Turf XT57, an ideal surface for Temple’s varsity teams to train on.

2016 Temple Football
Richard M. ENGLERT Acting President 40th Year at Temple After 40 years of outstanding service to Temple University, Richard M. Englert became its acting president on July 21, 2016. Englert’s latest position caps a career that has included 16 different leadership roles at Temple. Throughout this period, he has been a staunch advocate of Temple’s historic mission: access, affordability, diversity and excellence. Englert arrived at Temple in 1976 as an assistant to the dean of the College of Education. Over the years, he has been provost and interim senior vice president for academic affairs, dean of the College of Education and vice president for administration, among many other roles. During his career, he has always responded to Temple’s call. In July 2012, Englert began a six-month term as Temple’s acting president. With Englert at the helm, the university froze base tuition and increased financial aid for students. In recognition of his lifelong dedication to the university, the Board of Trustees in December 2012 appointed him to the honorific role of university chancellor. "We have been blessed to have Dick as president,” said Board of Trustees Chair Patrick J. O’Connor at the time. “It’s been a great pleasure working with him. The relationship that he has with the Temple community is second to none.” Since 2012, Englert has been active as a professor in the College of Education and in various administrative projects. He brings a wealth of experience to the acting presidency.
Englert earned a doctorate in educational administration from the University of California, Los Angeles. He also has a master’s degree from Pepperdine University and a bachelor’s degree from St. John’s College. When he began his current appointment as acting president, Englert talked about his “deep respect” for Temple University. “Having spent most of my academic career here, I have seen how Temple has become one of the best public urban research universities in the nation,” said Englert. “While our leadership has changed over the decades, our mission has not. Temple has been—and will be—a university that is accessible, affordable, diverse and high-quality. That is who we are. It is in our DNA.”

Dr. Patrick KRAFT Director of Athletics 4th Year at Temple (2nd as Dir. of Athletics) Dr. Patrick Kraft, who is in his third year at Temple, has helped transform the University’s athletics department while serving first as Deputy Director of Athletics (201315), and since May 2015 in his current role as Director of Athletics. Kraft has had an incredible impact on Temple Athletics in his short time at the school, and this impact has been recognized both regionally and nationally. In 2016, the 38-year-old athletic administrator was named to the Forty Under 40 lists for the Sports Business Journal and the Philadelphia Business Journal. He was the only intercollegiate athletic director on each list. Through his regular meetings and open dialogue with student-athletes, Kraft has made the voice and welfare of the student-athlete paramount. In his tenure, he has worked to provide a better quality experience for the University’s 500-plus student-athletes. Enhancements were completed to athletic training facilities, strength and conditioning facilities, and the student-athlete academic support center. Additionally, locker room renovations and upgrades were completed for each team. Recognizing the unique needs of Temple’s student-athletes, Kraft facilitated the development of a number of initiatives aimed at improving the mental health of student-athletes, including establishing a partnership with Temple’s Department of Clinical Psychology to deliver onsite behavioral health coaching for student-athletes. The Department has also partnered with the University’s Student Health Services staff to serve as a resource for student-athletes. A trained dietitian meets with teams and individual student-athletes to provide education and address areas of concern with regards to their nutrition and dietary questions. Under his leadership, his passion for the holistic development of student-athletes has led to exceptional performances in the classroom highlighted by record-setting grade point averages, academic performance (APR) and graduation rates. With record numbers of student-athletes earning their degrees, life after sport and career development has also been a great point of emphasis for Kraft. In collaboration with Temple’s Career Center, over 40 national and regional employers have attended two Career Networking Events on campus this year, where student-athletes have had opportunities to hone their networking skills and establish professional connections in their respective industries. Another area that has shown tremendous growth over the past year has been community service. Student-athlete community service projects have doubled from the 2014-15 academic year with over 31 projects and over 4,800 hours completed for this academic year to date. Many initiatives have been undertaken to further engage students, alumni, and fans. Some of those initiatives include Owls TV, a video services department dedicated to athletics, a broad-ranging social media presence, and new game-day enhancements and traditions. Kraft oversaw the greatest season in Temple Football’s history. The team recorded its best
start in school history at 7-0 and its first national ranking since 1979. That success lured ESPN College GameDay to Philadelphia for the team’s sold out game against Notre Dame. Although the #21 Owls lost a tightly-contested game (24-20) to the #9 Irish, the game garnered a record 18.1 share in Philadelphia to make it ABC’s highest-rated regular season college football game in the market. The 2015 Temple football campaign tied the school record for wins and earned bowl eligibility for the second consecutive season; the fifth time in seven seasons. The Owls were the American Athletic Conference East Division Champions and earned a bid to the Boca Raton Bowl, led by National Defensive Player of the Year (Bednarik and Nagurski Awards) and Consensus All-American Tyler Matakevich. Leading the conference in attendance for Football, Temple Athletics also set attendance records for men’s and women’s basketball with single game building records at the Liacouras Center and McGonigle Hall, respectively. Temple men’s basketball won the American Athletic Conference regular season title in 2015-16, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time in the last nine years. The Owls’ women’s basketball team earned a second straight bid to the WNIT and with its win over Ohio last night, advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament for the second straight year. During his tenure, he was integral in securing key partnerships with Learfield Sports Properties, Learfield Licensing Partners, and IMG/Learfield Ticket Solutions while negotiating a lucrative rights deal with Under Armour. Capital projects have also been on the forefront with a soon-to-be-completed athletic complex to house men’s and women’s soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and track scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. The restoration of the East Park Canoe House for men’s crew and women’s rowing will also be completed by the fall; while this June will see groundbreaking of a new indoor practice facility. Prior to Temple, Kraft was the Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director at Loyola University Chicago. At Loyola, he had direct oversight of all aspects of the department’s external operations, including the marketing, ticketing, media relations, and fundraising components. Kraft played an integral role in Loyola’s move from the Horizon League to the Missouri Valley Conference. In his two years at the school, he was able to grow the men’s basketball season ticket base by 30 percent with an overall increase of 51 percent in ticket revenue. Additionally, he generated an increase of 400 percent in cash sponsorship to the department while also growing the department’s annual giving by 75 percent. As Senior Assistant Athletic Director at Indiana, Kraft, was responsible for the branding and marketing efforts for all of the Hoosiers’ programs. He oversaw game production for all of IU’s varsity sports and coordinated group, season, and single-game ticket sales for football, men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball. In addition, Kraft managed the promotion, marketing, brand enhancement, and enforcement of the school’s Adidas contract and the Big Ten Network partnership as well as the Learfield Sport Properties multi-media rights agreement with the Hoosiers. His efforts at Indiana helped increase home football attendance to its highest mark in 17 years, with it also being the third largest football attendance increase among all Division I schools. He also instituted a strategy that saw a 20 percent increase in student ticket sales and the overall highest season ticket base in 13 years. Kraft, who played football as an undergraduate at Indiana, has three degrees from the University. He earned a bachelor’s degree in sports marketing/ management (2000), a master’s degree in athletic administration (2005), and a doctorate in sports management (2008). Kraft and his wife, Betsy, reside in Cherry Hill, N.J., with their daughter Annabelle and son Joseph.

2016 Temple Football
Harry DONAHUE
Paul PALMER
Radio Play-By-Play
Radio Color Analyst
22nd Year at Temple
4th Year at Temple
The 2016 season marks Harry Donahue’s 22nd consecutive year as the voice of Temple University football. A Philadelphia native, he has also served as play-by-play announcer for the Owls’ men’s basketball program since the 2002-03 campaign. One of the most recognizable voices in the Delaware Valley, Donahue worked as a morning news and sports anchor at KYW Newsradio (1060 AM) since 1979 before retiring in 2014. He first joined the station in 1974 as a freelance reporter and anchor. Donahue is a well-known broadcaster and an integral part of the Philadelphia sports scene. He has done play-by-play for Eagles preseason games, 76ers basketball contests and college basketball for ESPN’s Atlantic 10 Conference Game of the Week. Every Sunday, NFL fans around the country hear Donahue describe NFL Films’ highlights that are displayed on stadium scoreboards. He is the voice of NFL.com’s weekly highlights. Donahue also hosted “Temple Sports Now,” a bi-weekly TV show that featured Owl athletics. Donahue was the play-by-play voice for the Philadelphia Stars of the USFL. He has also hosted “Center Court,” the pre-game, half-time, and post-game shows for the 76ers’ telecasts. Donahue’s reporting has earned him two Pennsylvania Associated Press Awards for his coverage of the Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series run in 1980. In May 2000, he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. Donahue is a graduate of Saint Joseph’s University. He and his wife Lynda reside in Montgomery County, Pa., and have three sons and five grandchildren.
In 2013, former Temple All-American running back Paul Palmer (1983-86) added the job of color analysis for the Temple Radio Network for all football game broadcasts to his list of accomplishments. For Palmer it was a return to radio. He served as the Owls’ sideline reporter for four seasons (2001-04). Palmer replaced 1974 Maxwell Award winner Steve Joachim, who had to step aside following 13 years as the color analyst for Temple Football due to increased work commitments with his full-time position. A unanimous first-team All-American in 1986, his senior season, Palmer led the nation in rushing yards (1,866), rushing yards per game (169.6) and all-purpose yards (2,633) that season. Named 1986 ECAC Player of the Year, Palmer set 23 school records and remains the Owls’ career leader in rushing attempts (935), rushing yards (4,895), 100-yard rushing games (21), and 200-yard rushing games (6). Palmer finished second in the 1986 Heisman Trophy race to Miami QB Vinny Testaverde. In 2015, for the fifth straight year, he is on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. A native of Potomac, MD, Palmer was a first round draft pick by the Kansas City Chiefs where he led the AFC in kickoff return average (24.3 yards per attempt) as a rookie and rushed for 607 yards in two seasons. Palmer, who resides in Lawnside, N.J., has served as an assistant football coach at Haddon Heights High School for the last eight seasons.
