TAMPA, OCT. 20, 2016 – Willie Taggart’s first-place Bulls are in Philadelphia for a Friday night matchup with Temple that could resemble the heavyweight bouts from the early “Rocky” movies.
“Physical” was a word Taggart used all week to describe second-place Temple. Last week, the tough Owls picked themselves up off the canvas in the fourth quarter and used a last-second touchdown to shock UCF, 26-25, in Orlando.
“You watch their victory last week against UCF, it showed a football team that’s not going to flinch and will do what it takes to win the ballgame,” Taggart said.
