The Temple defense in 2019 so far has been about above average. The Owls have given up 22.3 points per game to opponents this season including 33 off of turnovers. Without those 33 points off turnovers, that points per game stat would look even better but as we discussed yesterday, the Owls are a turnover happy offense.
Additionally, the Owls have made it extremely hard for opposing offenses to move the ball down the field this season, only allowing 276.7 yards per game. That includes 143.7 yards through the air on average, and 133 yards per game on the ground.
