The Temple Owls enter the 2017 season with questions marks after winning their first American Athletic Conference championship last year. That is to be expected when arguably the program's best coach leaves to take on another uphill battle and only eight starters return from last season's squad.
We know that they will have another talented defense. Temple has made its resurgence from perennial loser to a team that is made up of will and determination, and that has been largely in part of a decade of defensive players that have made a living in the National Football League.
