Temple Football Forever 
Temple must have made some changes with the O given that USF had some good D against some pretty good teams before. Hopefully Temple can get another win or two. If we see more performances like on Saturday Drayton’s biggest challenge will be to keep the players that will be stars from going to the portal.
Or maybe more stars will want to come here.
Love the optimism. I guess that could happen too.
Hope his recruiting approach helps keep the best players fro hitting the portal. Drayton seems focused on building the core of the roster from HS recruiting and using the portal to augment
I also ask, what changed with the O. AND of course, Mr 23 Saadee ran like a deer, with the power of a bull, ran with total max effort and desire. We Loved it. So happy for him, yes.
What a show we saw, ( it’s about time we could say ).
That’s the Warner we need and the Saydee we need. It’s not complicated- if you can run it and throw it you’ve got an offense.
100% in the kick game doesn’t hurt either.
This was USF, who are having as bad of a year as we are, but all these teams have talented athletes and a win is a win.
So often with Temple it comes back to mindset and motivation- hopefully this W strengthens the resolve on the practice field and in the locker room. These are young guys and belief plays a major role in performance.
Plus, the blocking of guys like Adam Klein and Isaac Moore (among others) was solid. I’m sure they were tired of hearing Temple didn’t have a good offensive line.
Yeah, the O-line was actually opening up holes for the running backs and protecting Warner, all of which added up to lots of yards and scoring. Hope it happens on Saturday too.
UH will be a good test. Much higher caliber team. Immediate goal is to see improvement two consecutive games, building on the USF effort. Maybe UH takes the Owls too lightly and Cougars limp away. No early stumbles that put them in a hole please.
Temple beat a bad USF team, USF fired their coach the next day. Houston will fire their coach on Sunday if Temple wins.
Stan Drayton, the new widowmaker.
Temple got Skip Holtz fired in 2012, although they waited until the end of the season to do that. USF President was quoted the day after the Temple game something to the effect (and I’m paraphrasing) it’s unacceptable to lose to Temple. So that must’ve lingered in his mind for a few weeks. Funny thing is three USF coaches are 0-5 all-time in Philadelphia games.
