2018 American Football Previews: Temple Owls

Temple entered last season with a four-man battle for the starting quarterback spot, but coms into this season with quarterback Frank Nutile entrenched as the signal-caller. Nutile started the last five games last season, going 4-1 and throwing 12 touchdown passes. Running backs David Hood and Ryquell Armstead combined to rush for 1,242 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Wide receiver Isaiah Wright had a team-high 46 receptions for 668 yards and four touchdowns and leads a skilled group of veteran receivers. Center Matt Hennessy and offensive guard Vincent Picozzi were regular starters on the offensive line as freshmen in 2017.
