Quotebook report: Quarterbacks competing for starting role, learning new offense

Former quarterback Phillip Walker assumed the starting role as a freshman in 2013. Since then, Temple has progressed from a two-win team to post back-to-back 10-win seasons. Walker will graduate as Temple’s all-time leading passer and the first quarterback to lead Temple to consecutive bowl games.

Five quarterbacks are vying to replace his spot. They’re also learning offensive coordinator Dave Patenaude’s offense.
