Temple Football Forever 
I think your feeling regarding the game is valid but this staff does seem to do a real good job preparing for a team when they have extra time, evidenced by the last 2 season openers. A couple of other things are that i feel this group of seniors want to finish up with a win and end their Temple “careers” with a record setting year
The OWLS have a little extra motivation for the game. It just happens to be Tyler Matakevich’s birthday and I am sure the team wants to give him a. great present!
🏈🍒🎁
that should be enough to bring it home. 🙂 Hopefully, Toledo has no one with a birthday today.
Still a lot of time left in this game but so far in the 2nd quarter it’s beginning to look like Temple rolled the dice and it’s coming up craps with regards to choosing a bowl where more fans could make. Don’t care how good Toledo is losing to them will have much more negative perception than losing to a 6-6 SEC team. Hopefully the offense gets it’s act together in the 2nd half
Win, Lose or Draw…my Christmas present came early! It’s rumored that Satterfield is a leading candidate for the Tennessee Tech HC vacancy. I would be trilled beyond belief if he took it.
we should pay him a bonus to leave
After the first half, this has got to be one of the most boring games I’ve ever seen. Walker is reminding me of Sam Bradford this game, 3rd and 11 and he throws the ball to a reciever 7 yards shy of the 1st down marker.
Also for the second game in a row the O-line is getting pushed around. No yards after catch.
If Toledo scores a TD here before the half this game could get ugly.
I’m confused which team has the depleted coaching staff
Hell, this is Toledo not Notre Dame. We are doing nothing on Offense. The Defense is missing tackles and not putting any pressure on the QB. Owls are playing an ugly game and we can only hope Rhule gave a Knute Rockne speech at halftime to fire his sleeping team up. Despite the 10 wins, a loss here will be devastating and hard to get over.
10-4 Stan, Pitiful performance, can’t tackle, receivers can’t catch a cold!!!!! Should be playing golf!
Ok still have a half to turn this around. Now premature with this but if Temple loses this game where would you this season from the Hardin era onwards, 2nd or 3rd best? To me 1979 would still be #1. Hopefully we have a big 2nd half comeback and this season for me moves up to #1.
On another topic things aren’t looking too good for the AAC so far
I remember reading a factoid before the Temple at USF game (a loss) that Temple had never won a game in the state of Florida. Can the Owls snap that losing streak tonight?
Is it just me or does pj seem to get slower each season. His freshman year he was said to have michael vick type ability. Tonight he seems to be lugging a piano and can’t even pull away from a 250 lb linebacker.
I agree. PJ is not a running QB, look how many times he is run down from behind by defensive lineman. He can scramble to buy time and had mobility but until a lot of people I don’t think this offense should have a lot of designed running plays for him
Well folks program really shot itself in the foot choosing this bowl. At this point this season is marginally better than 2011 but that’s about it. Is anybody else concerned with this trend. 2014 5-1 first half of season, 1-5 2nd half
2015 7-0 first half of season, right now looks like 3-4 second half. And again which team is working with a make shift coaching staff, I can’t tell
Making matters worse, just read on the Owlscoop Twitter feed that Matakevich finished with 11 tackles putting him in a tie with Conjar, just 1 damn tackle away from setting a new Temple career tackling record. Lousy birthday all around for the Temple MVP.
Wait a minute…Zach Gelb just tweeted that Matakevich got that 12th tackle and 493 breaking the Conjar record of 492. If that’s right, at least something good came out of that game!
I said this a few games ago and il say it again, Chandler has got to be one of the slowest DB’s at the FBS level.
Temple will be lucky to win 6 games next year.
Team Is Terrible!!!! Can’t catch a cold or tackle a pee wee girls hockey player!!!!! Pitiful performance!!!!!!
just got back to the hotel, Redzone offense was lousy…., we should have scored TDs on the first two drives in the second half…, for the 10th time, PJ is not a QB who can be counted to win games in the 4th QTR he was very inaccurate when he did have time to throw, would have liked to see Nutile play a series in the second half..,, our OC is one of the worst in the conference
Mike Locksley (Maryland OC who was promoted to head coach) is available. Matt should drive down to Tennessee with Sat and beg them take him. Then pick up the phone and call Mike Locksley. Locksley is a great recruiter, former head recruiter at Florida under Urban Meyer (before Daz). I don’t think his offensive philosophy is to throw 4 yard passes on third and 7 and 7-yard passes on 3d and 12, plus we need to open up that D.C. pipeline again (Paul Palmer was from there).
