Wed, 07 Nov 2018 17:28:17 +0000

Last week, the Owls suffered a heartbreaking loss to the University of Central Florida.

Can Frank Nutile Maintain Success?

Wed, 08 Nov 2017 01:20:02 +0000

Frank Nutile has been great for the Owls this season. After nearly stealing a win from Army, Nutile lead Temple past a solid Navy team. This comes as a surprise to many as few expected the Owls to beat the Midshipmen. Still, Nutile was able to get the job done. In the game he threw for 289 yards and 4 touchdowns completing 73% of his passes. With the exception of one garbage-time interception…

Tue, 10 Oct 2017 20:43:04 +0000

Logan Marchi and the rest of the Owls offense began to figure things out on Saturday against a woeful 1-5 East Carolina team. Marchi came into the game with questions and did his best to answer them.

The beginning of the ECU game…

Mon, 11 Sep 2017 20:27:40 +0000

Whenever an FCS unit takes on a recent top-25 football team, you should expect the latter to win by a large margin. Looking around the NCAA (especially so far this season) that isn’t always the case…

The SportDesk’s 3 Breakout Stars On Defense

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:39:49 +0000

Since, I wrote an article on the potential offensive breakout candidates, I figured why not make one for the defense? I mean, as the old saying goes “Offensive wins games, but defense wins championships.” Truer words have never been spoken about the Temple Football team. The Owls pride themselves on the defensive side of the ball and used it to propel them to their first AAC Championship in the…
