Temple Football: Owls' passing game developing quickly under Rhule
There’s no argument with why Temple’s offense struggled so mightily to score points in 2012. The Owls’ quarterbacks combined for the nation’s fifth-worst passing game, which put a lot of pressure on the backfield to overachieve.
Now that Matt Rhule has taken over and implemented his pro-style, no-huddle offense, Temple looks to be much more balanced on this side of the...

Wyatt, Temple dispatch NC State
Khalif Wyatt grabbed his left thumb -- the one alarmingly wrapped in black support tape -- pulled it toward his stomach and grimaced.
His non-shooting hand dangled uselessly as he set up behind the free-throw line. He carefully placed it on the bottom of the ball, cautiously dribbled a couple times, then put both hands on it and let it fly.
Painful, but perfect.
Then, he did it...

Temple expects better results in Big East sequel
The Big East preseason poll was released, and there were the Temple Owls, picked to finish in last place.
It was like 2004 all over again. Or 2003. Or 1995 and 1996.

They do not like my stance and opinions on the state of Temple football as it is related to the big boys of college football and what I have to say about where Temple...
