Temple struggled through a 1-6 season in 2020 as the Owls were best with an untimely confluence of injuries and opt-outs due to the pandemic
The Owls look to return to their form of 2019, when they went 8-5 in Rod Carey’s first season in Philadelphia.
Temple had 22 players make their first career starts during the 2020 season, but the Owls expect to field a more experienced squad in 2021, thanks in large part to the addition of several key transfers. QB D’Wan Mathis was the Opening Day starter for Georgia last season and is expected to get the start agianst Rutgers in the season-opener.
