Temple is the only team with a P5 team (PSU) on their remaining schedule. Should they beat PSU (a real possibility now), they will become the second team with two P5 wins and remain the second AAC team with at least one P5 wins.

The tough part of their schedule started with ECU and continues with Memphis, PSU, and Cincy, finishing with Tulane. Temple's body of work hasn't been lights out but has grown into a nice turnaround from the 2 win season a year ago. Next year could be even better for this still very young team.

It is a nice turn around. Rhule is doing a good job. I had my doubts about Snow, but we saw a good D game plan. Hurricane Swartz probably had $$ on Temple today.

Our reality this years is we cannot stop mobile quarterbacks on D, and our offense has never gotten untracked.

We will be bowling, though.

Temple's D played very well yesterday and was the reason for the win. If they are going to finish with 6 wins they better figure out how to move the football. The O was god awful yesterday. ECU does not that great of a defense. Walker did not have very good day. I though he was quicker than what he showed yesterday. Maybe it was the soggy field...but...he looked a step slow yesterday.

Good luck the rest of the way. Rhule is doing a good job of turning the program around.

Walker is hurt and has been hurt all season.

What is his problem? Nothing mentioned about it yesterday.

High ankle sprain all season.

I have nothing against Temple, even if they ended our run for the Access Bowl. Congrats to the Owls. But I saw nothing yesterday that gives me any notion that Temple has it in them to beat PSU. I still saw the same team that everyone here thought would have a tough time becoming bowl eligible. Call it sour grapes if you want but I think that would be living in denial. You won fair and square yesterday but it would take miracles for those same set of circumstances to happen in each remaining game to get wins that way. I do wish you luck as I actually like Temple. Just don't don't see the upward trend out of yesterday's win.

I agree. Temple did play some inspired defense..but.. ECU gift wrapped a win for them. I don't see that happening again.

Well, yesterday was not the first time temple forced a bunch of turnovers, and as long as they do that, they'll have a shot.

They are -5 in their losses and +12 in their wins, IIRC.

Point taken. They have been opportunistic.
