Video made me that much more excited about the upcoming season. One thing though. The gray Uni tops should be burned.
and burn black helmets, black jerseys, etc…,
always thought Temple’s future success would be determined in a large part by the play under center. now we have three QBs who have the potential to be Temple stars…,
what I didn’t foresee was the outstanding QB play from so many teams in conference…,
everything is relative.., now, in 2019, Temple has one of the best QB rooms in the history of TUFB. However, the room is average when compared to the top teams in the conference this year.

sometimes our vision is skewed by TUFB history. this year, more than ever, we must open the aperture.
the true benchmarks reside in conference play and statistics
I agree that 14 interceptions is not a good stat. However, I seem to recall at least two if not more of them, were the result of deflections off the hands of receivers who should have caught the passes which hot them right in their hands. . The BC interception off the hands of the receiver changed momentum in favor of BC. Had TU gone on to score the game may have been over.
Yes.. 2 ints in BC game and 2 more at Maryland were delivered perfectly into hands of Tu receivers only to bounce off those hands and into arms of defenders. There may have been more that I cannot recall
isn’t this something, here we are as Temple fans, again expecting a better then good year, no, a really good year.
How blessed we are somehow in that TUFB has come along nicely in the past 12+ years.
What a great accomplishment we HAVE viewed, so please let it continue. Damn but I have become demanding and fussy, love that winning style.
Can I get an Amen, thanks.
Amen!
Anthony may need to compete with Todd, who is dual-threat. Carey likes to run the ball, so that may be an issue. If Wright wins the TB position, I see Anthony “d Arm” Russo running the play-option offense we all love to watch.
I could see packages for Todd like they had Wildcat packages for Isaiah except these are packages that will really work because they will actually try an occasional pass off it. Wildcats work only if you throw 50/50 and not run 99/1. Anthony will be the starter but there will be plenty of room for Todd to show his stuff.
single digit?
I would bet 15 and 13 become single digits and maybe 95 too
