RHULE NAMED TEMPLE HEAD COACH

On December 17, Matt Rhule [pronounced rule], who has 15 seasons of coaching experi-

ence on the collegiate and professional levels, was named Temple University's 26th head

coaching experience, including six seasons at Temple, and six bowl games-- two with the

changed several times. He was promoted to co-offensive coordinator after serving as the

assistant offensive coordinator and tight ends coach as well as the recruiting coordinator

WHERE’S SEAN?

Senior OL Sean Boyle (Towson, Md.) did not participate in Senior Day activities. The NCAA

has granted him a five-year clock extension, giving him a sixth year of eligibility. Plagued

by injuries, Boyle did not play during the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He returned to action

this fall as the team’s starting center but missed the last three games.

WELCOME BACK TO THE BIG EAST

The 2012 season ushered in a new era for TU football. The Owls returned to the BIG EAST

Conference after a seven-year absence.

After playing the last five seasons in the Mid-American Conference, Temple re-joined the

BIG EAST Conference in 2012. The Owls previously played in the BIG EAST [1991-2004] for

football only.

All other sports, including Temple’s men’s and women’s basketball programs, will leave

the Atlantic 10 Conference and begin play in the BIG EAST starting in 2013-14. This will

be the first time in Temple’s history in which its intercollegiate athletic programs will com-

pete in one conference.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE NOTES / HISTORY

• Temple has played in three conferences during its football history:

1960-1969— Middle Atlantic Conference [10 seasons]

1967 MAC champions

1991-2004— BIG EAST Conference [12 seasons]

2007-11— Mid-American Conference [5 seasons]

2009 MAC co-EAST Division champions

• Three head coaches guided the Owls during their first BIG EAST tenure:

1991-1992— Jerry Berndt

1993-1997— Ron Dickerson

1997-2004— Bobby Wallace

2012— Steve Addazio

• Temple’s first BIG EAST tenure was rough as the Owls won just 14 conference games

in 12 seasons:

• Over the last three seasons (2009-10-11), Temple set the school record with most

wins in three consecutive seasons (26), won nine games twice, and won its second

bowl game in school history and first since 1979 (32 years).

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

On November 15, the Temple football team made some special deliveries as part of its

sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. The Owls dropped off non-perishable food items,

collected by the players, coaches, and staff over the last two weeks, to the Bethesda Proj-

ect (722 North Broad Street).

The entourage then headed over to St. John’s Hospice (1221 Race Street) to drop off 30

frozen turkeys with all the trimmings for Thanksgiving dinner. The dinners were made

possible through monetary donations from the players and coaches. All players on the

team donated their per diem to the cause.

LAST GAME: SYRACUSE 38, TEMPLE 20

Junior QB Juice Granger had his best day as an Owl, completing 16-of-23 passes for 173

yards and one TD and rushing for 61 yards and another score. It was not enough as Tem-

ple fell to Syracuse, 38-20, at Lincoln Financial Field in its final game of the season. The

Owls closed the year at 4-7 overall and 2-5 in BIG EAST play.

Senior Montel Harris had another strong day in his final game as a college player. The

Temple running back became the ninth Owl to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. He had

his fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season and 27th of his career, compiling 106 yards

on 21 carries to end the 2012 campaign with 1,054 yards to rank eighth on the TU all-

time list.

Seniors CJ Hammond and Vaughn Carraway put in solid days in their final game donning

the Cherry and White. Hammond set career highs with two catches and a team-best 64

yards, while Carraway made a career-high 10 solo tackles and recovered a fumble.

The Owls jumped out to a 10-0 lead over the Orange as Granger, making his second ca-

reer start, led TU on scoring drives on two other its first three possessions.

Senior PK Brandon McManus connected on a 47-yard field goal on the game's opening

drive. After not one, but two Syracuse fumbles, Granger connected with redshirt fresh-

man John Christopher for a 12-yard touchdown. Granger also helped set that up with a

30-yard run to the SU 10 yard-line, his longest career run from scrimmage.

The Orange scored on their first two possessions of the second quarter. First senior QB

Ryan Nassib (16-28-0, 215 yds, 1 TD) hit Marcus Sales on a slant pattern for a 24-yard TD.

Then Adonis Ameen-Moore broke off an 18-yard touchdown run, one of his two TDs on

the game.

McManus extended his school record for career field goals to 60 with a 22-yarder on the

Owls' ensuing drive to cut the deficit to 14-13.

Harris, serving as the team's punt returner as senior Matt Brown missed his final game due

to injury, fumbled an Orange punt at the Temple 47. That led to a 26-yard field goal by

Ross Krautman to give the Syracuse a 17-13 advantage at the half.

In the third, Granger hit Hammond on a 45-yard pass play to the Orange 10. On the next

play, the junior QB ran to paydirt for his first rushing TD of his career to put Temple ahead,

20-17.

The veteran Syracuse squad responded with two 75-yard scoring drives.

That broke the momentum of the young Owl team, which mustered only one first down

2012 TEAM CAPTAINS

As elected by their teammates, seniors DB Justin Gildea, DE Marcus Green, and OL Mar-

tin Wallace served as team captains for the 2012 season. A fourth game captain was se-

lected for several contests.

TELEVISION NEWS

All 11 of Temple’s football games were televised live last fall, marking the most nationally

televised games in a season for the Owls. The previous high was nine nationally televised

games in 2011.

GRADUATION HONORS

Four Owls received their undergraduate degrees prior to the season. OL Sean Boyle (ki-

nesiology), DB Vaughn Carraway (communications), and WR C.J. Hammond (human re-

source management), as well as RB Montel Harris (communications from Boston College),

competed as fifth-year seniors.

WE ARE YOUNG ...

After graduating 23 members of the winningest Senior Class in school history, Temple had

a re-building last fall. Under the leadership of just 13 seniors, the Owls played 23 fresh-

men— 14 true freshmen (third youngest team in the nation) —DL Shahbaz Ahmed, WR

Samuel Benjamin, WR Romond Deloatch, LB Rob Dvoracek, LB Avery Ellis, DB Michael

Felton, OL Kyle Friend, RB Jamie Gilmore, WR Khalif Herbin, DL Matt Ioannidis, OL Ray-

mond Korang, LB Tyler Matakevich, DB Brandon Shippen, and DB Tavon Young— and

nine redshirt freshmen—WR Robbie Anderson, WR John Christopher, LB Brandon Chud-

noff, OL Zach Hooks, OL Eric Lofton, OL Jacob Quinn, RB Spencer Reid, LB Nate D. Smith,

and DL Hershey Walton. Friend, Christopher, Chudnoff, Hooks, Matakevich, Smith, Wal-

ton, and Young have been members of the starting line-up.

AMONG THE NATION’S YOUNGEST

Temple football played the third-most first-year starters in the country last fall:

READY TO PLAY

With the immediate switch to the BIG EAST Conference this season, Temple only had 11

games on its schedule. The month of September was rough with two bye weeks. The

Owls had one game in a 27-day span. TU closed out the 2012 slate with eight consecu-

tive games, seven in Conference play.

THE COMEBACK KIDS

Temple overcame a 14-point deficit in its overtime win at Connecticut to join the all-time

biggest comeback victories list. The Owls scored 17 unanswered points while holding the

Huskies scoreless for three quarters (plus OT) for the win.

Temple tried to battle back from a 23-point deficit against Maryland, coming within three

points, but failed to pull off what would have been the all-time biggest come-from-be-

hind win in school history.

DON’T FORGET ABOUT BUG

Temple returned an experienced backfield heading into 2012. After re-writing the school

season rushing records for touchdowns, yards, and attempts in 2011 behind the efforts

of three-time first-team All-MAC honoree Bernard Pierce, the Owls continued to rely on

the speed of senior Matt Brown.

In the season opener against Villanova, Brown recorded the 10th 100-yard performance

of his career. He led the Owls with 145 yards and a 56-yard TD run on 19 carries. Brown

earned ESPN Helmet Sticker honors for his performance.

Against Maryland, Brown had 31 yards on 10 carries.

At Penn State, Brown rushed four times for 26 yards. His one-yard receiving touchdown

in the fourth quarter was the first receiving TD of his career.

In the win over South Florida, Brown had 59 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries before

leaving the game with an ankle injury. He did not play in the backfield at Connecticut but

did return kicks. Against No. 19/17 Rutgers, Brown saw limited action in the backfield and

did not have a carry. He played on special teams only at Pitt. At No. 12/10 Louisville, Brown

played in just two series in the fourth quarter. He had five yards on two carries.

WALLACE LEADS YOUTHFUL O-LINE

In his second season with the offensive line, coach

Justin Frye had the biggest holes to fill. The O-Line

returned just one starter—senior captain Martin

Wallace (New York, N.Y.), losing All-MAC honorees

Pat Boyle and Wayne Tribue to graduation. In 2011,

Wallace started all 13 games at right tackle, one of

nine Owls to start every game.

Senior Sean Boyle (Towson, Md.), who missed the

2011 season with a shoulder injury, took over at

center. Twin brother to first-team All-MAC selection Pat, Boyle played in all 12 games as

a true freshman in 2008 and all 13 games in 2009 with one start at center.

There were big shoes to fill on the rest of the line. Making the first starting appearances

of their careers against Villanova were redshirt freshman LT Zack Hooks, sophomore RG

Jaimen Newman, and junior LG Jeff Whittingham. True freshman Kyle Friend joined the

starting line-up at right guard at Penn State. He also took some snaps at center in the win

over Connecticut.

At No. 12/10 Louisville, Friend made his sixth consecutive start and his first start at cen-

ter (for injured senior Sean Boyle). Junior OL Scott Roorda made his first career start, tak-

ing over at right guard. Friend and Roorda held onto their new starting roles against

Cincinnati and Army.

Despite its youth and inexperience, the Temple O-Line held Villanova and was ranked No.

1 that week in the national stats in sacks allowed (0.00).

NEW MENTOR FOR TIGHT ENDS

In his first season with the tight ends, coach Frank Leonard had a veteran list of candi-

dates. Juniors Wyatt Benson, Cody Booth, Alex Jackson, and Chris Parthemore com-

peted to replace two-time first-team All-MAC pick Evan Rodriguez and senior Matt

Balasavage.

In the win over Villanova, Booth and Jackson received starting nods. Booth had a 12-yard

reception. Benson and Omuso also saw action. Against Maryland, Jackson had a 26-yard

reception.

At Penn State, Booth had a seven-yard reception. In the win over South Florida, he scored

the first touchdown of his collegiate career with a nine-yard reception. In the overtime win

at Connecticut, Booth had three receptions for 25 yards. Against No. 19/17 Rutgers, Booth

scored Temple’s lone touchdown, a four-yard reception. At Pitt, he scored TU’s first touch-

down, a nine-yard reception in the first quarter. Booth finished the game with a career-

high three receptions for 21 yards en route to CFP national Honorable Mention Tight End

of the Week accolades. At No. 12/10 Louisville, he had a six-yard reception. Against Cincin-

nati, Booth scored TU’s only touchdown, a four-yard reception from Juice Granger. He

finished with four receptions for 23 yards.

After 11 games, Booth was second in receiving (and top tight end) with 137 yards and

four touchdowns on 17 receptions.

LOCAL 215

One of Temple’s top priorities was to establish a walk-on program unrivaled on the re-

gional and state level; one that afforded players the opportunity to be a part of the resur-

gence of Temple Football. The end product was the organization of the LOCAL 215

program.

Much like the unions that support the great city of Philadelphia,

the LOCAL 215 represents the tough, disciplined, and blue-

collar student-athletes who believe they have what it takes

to play Division I football and build the Owls into a pro-

gram representative of a first-rate university and a first-

class city.

The LOCAL 215 walk-on program is an exceptional oppor-

tunity for regional student-athletes to not only earn a roster

spot, but the chance to compete for playing time and ulti-

mately earn a scholarship.

Numerous LOCAL 215 members are actively contributing to the team and several more

have already earned a scholarship, including senior RB Matt Brown, junior TE Cody Booth,

This fall Temple has 27 members of its Local 215 program.

Did you know . . .• Temple is one of four schools in the BIG EAST that play its home games on a natural

• In a sellout, Temple hosted a school record 69,029 fans vs. No. 25 Penn State at

Lincoln Financial Field to set its all-time best attendance for a home game

INJURY REPORTS The Temple football program does not release player injury reports.


~ Temple Made ~Are you Temple Made?

If you're a student, alumnus, faculty member, employee or admirer of the Philadelphia in-

stitution, chances are you have noticed the university's Temple Made branding effort, de-

signed to promote the impact Temple has on its students, its city and the nation.

The first signs of the campaign popped up on the university's Main Campus as students

were moving in at the end of last August. A series of banners featuring students and em-

ployees with their faces painted in Temple's iconic cherry and white have been strung in

high profile locations like the Bell Tower, Polett Walk and inside the Student Center.

Similar images popped up throughout the region, from billboards and bus stops to news-

paper and television advertisements. [Billboard above features Andy Carl. Men’s bas-

ketball coach Fran Dunphy, women’s basketball coach Tonya Cardoza, Athletic Director

Bill Bradshaw, and SID legend Al Shrier also had their photos taken for the campaign.]

The initial round of Temple Made promotions highlights Temple's first season of football

as a member of the BIG EAST Conference, a move that has value in athletics, academics,

student life and throughout the university.

"Our entry into the BIG EAST provides us with the opportunity to communicate to our

peers that across disciplines and on a global stage, that the Temple University community

is making things happen," said interim President Richard M. Englert. "This new campaign

lets us tell all the amazing stories and achievements that are Temple Made."

The campaign also has elements that reach beyond the playing field. For example, other

promotions illustrate the pride and determination of Temple's students and alumni with

messages like "Self Made. Philly Made. Temple Made." Approximately 4,000 freshmen

students received T-shirts during Welcome Week with the slogan emblazoned on its front.

Initial response to the Temple Made campaign has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, es-

pecially on social media such as Twitter. "#TempleMade and so, so proud," wrote one

student. "LOVE THIS. #TempleU pride forever," tweeted another.

~ Self Made. Philly Made. Temple Made. ~

In his second season at Temple University,

Steve Addazio guided the Owls to a 4-7 overall

record and a 2-5 mark in their return to the BIG

EAST Conference. TU won back-to-back BIG

EAST games for the first time in school history

to open the conference slate at 2-0. Six Owls

earned All-BIG EAST honors, including senior

Matt Brown who was named the Special Teams

Player of the Year, and true freshman LB Tyler

Matakevich who took home Rookie of the Year

honors as well as Freshman All-America honors.

In his first season at Temple in 2011, Ad-

dazio guided the Owls to an 9-4 overall record

and a second-place finish in the Mid-American

Conference East Division en route to their sec-

ond bowl appearance in three years. The all-

time winningest first-year coach in school

history, Addazio mentored 10 All-MAC selec-

tions, including first-team honorees OL Pat

Boyle, RB Bernard Pierce, DE Adrian Robinson,

and TE Evan Rodriguez. The Owls’ defense dom-

inated the MAC, leading all teams in five cate-

gories while ranking No. 3 nationally in scoring

defense. Addazio’s offense set the school

records for rushing yards and rushing touch-

downs in a season as well behind the explosive

efforts of All-MAC honorees Pierce and Matt

Brown. Off the field, the Temple football play-

ers were recognized as the 2011 Most Valuable

Players by the Philadel-

phia Affiliate of Susan

G. Komen for the

Cure for their com-

munity service ef-

forts.

and LB Tahir Whitehead (5th)—

while an additional nine players

setting the school record for the

largest class with 12 signees.

Addazio, who helped the Univer-

sity of Florida win two BCS National

Championships in five years, was

named Temple University's 25th head

football coach on December 23, 2010.

The Farmington, Conn., native has a quar-

ter-century of coaching experience and 12 post-

season bowl games, including six BCS games in

the last 16 years, on his resume.

The 53-year old Addazio spent six seasons

at Florida under head coach Urban Meyer, serv-

ing as associate head coach and offensive coor-

dinator in 2010. The Gators won BCS National

Championships in 2006 and 2008, while captur-

ing two Southeastern Conference champi-

onships.

He completed his tenure at

Florida on Jan. 1, 2011, coach-

ing Florida to a 37-24 win over

Penn State in the Outback

Bowl. The offensive line paved

the way for an SEC-best 8,506

(6th), rushing offense (10th) and scoring offense

(10th).

The Gators were the only team in the na-

tion in 2009 to rush for over 3,000 yards and

pass for more than 3,000 yards. UF was one of

seven teams in the nation to have at least 25

rushing touchdowns and 25 passing touch-

downs on the season. Florida averaged 5.6

yards per rush in 2009, the third-best average

in the nation. The offense totaled 3,105 rushing

yards (6th in the nation) and 30 rushing touch-

downs (11th in the nation).

Center Maurkice Pouncey was named a

first-team All-American in 2009 and became the

first Rimington Trophy winner in Florida’s school

history.

Addazio coached one of the most promi-

nent offensive lines in UF history in 2008 that al-

lowed Florida to rush for 3,236 yards, averaging

a school-record 5.9 yards per carry, improving

from a 5.3 average in 2007. The offensive line

allowed the Gators to pass for 33 touchdowns

and run for 42 touchdowns in 2008, as Heisman

Trophy quarterback Tim Tebow passed Emmitt

Smith for first-place all-time in rushing touch-

downs. The 2008 offensive line only allowed 16

sacks during the season and contributed to one

of the most balanced teams in school history

that ranked fourth in both scoring offense and

defense.

In 2007, Addazio coached an offensive line

that blocked for an offense that rushed for

2,602 yards, for an average of 5.3 yards per

carry, a jump from the 2006 average of 4.7

yards, and also helped the offense to run for 39

touchdowns. The OL allowed just 13 sacks in

2007, a drop of 10 sacks from 2006.

Addazio worked with the offensive line,

which allowed only 23 sacks and gave up one or

less in a game seven times in 2006 after the

group allowed 35 sacks in 2005. The unit also

paved the way for the UF run game that in-

creased from 3.9 yards per carry and 146.8

yards per game in 2005 to 4.7 yards per carry

and 160.0 yards per game in 2006.

Addazio went to Indiana (2002-04) after

spending the previous three seasons at the Uni-

versity of Notre Dame, where he served as the

offensive line, tight ends and special teams'

coach between 1999-2001.

Prior to his tenure at Notre Dame, Addazio

served on the staff at Syracuse University for

four seasons (1995-98). The Orange won three

consecutive Big East crowns during Addazio's

four seasons and appeared in four bowl games.

Prior to Addazio's Division I collegiate

coaching career, he served as one of the na-

tion's top high school coaches at Cheshire High

School in Cheshire, Conn. He placed over 20 stu-

dent-athletes in Division I-A, I-AA, II, and III pro-

grams in his seven years. His teams were

nationally ranked in 1992 and 1994. During one

stretch, his team won 34 consecutive games,

the second-longest string in the nation. His

teams also won three state titles in a row.

Addazio began his coaching career at

Western Connecticut State University, where he

served as an assistant coach under Paul

Pasqualoni from 1984-87. The Colonials claimed

the New England Football Conference title in

1985 and advanced to the NCAA Division III

playoffs for the first time in school history.

A graduate of Central Connecticut State

University, Addazio earned a bachelor’s degree

in physical education in 1981. A four-year

starter for the Blue Devils on the offensive and

defensive lines, Addazio completed a master’s

degree in 1985. Addazio earned tryouts with the

NFL's New England Patriots, USFL's Jacksonville

Bulls, and CFL's Ottawa Roughriders.

Born June 1, 1959, Addazio is married to

the former Kathy Donoghue. They have three

children– Nicole (25), Jessica (22), and Louie

(19). Louis is a sophomore at Syracuse where he

plays tight end.

Game Recaps

PHILADELPHIA – Temple returnedto the BIG EAST in style Fridaynight in the fourth and final install‐ment of the Mayor's Cup serieswith a 35‐10 win over crosstownrival Villanova in front of 32,709fans at Lincoln Financial Field. Theheavily‐partisan Owl crowd wasthe third largest to watch a Tem‐ple game at the venue and themost in the four Mayor's Cupgames.

The Owls set the tone in theopening minutes to set the tone ofthe game. After holding the Wild‐cats to a three‐and‐out on theiropening possession, Temple usedits brand of smash‐mouth footballto move the ball 78 yards on 14 plays to take a 7‐0 lead.

All but four plays on the Owls' first drive were onthe ground with sophomore RB Kenny Harper taking ashovel pass up the middle from junior QB Chris Coyer foran eight‐yard touchdown. Senior RB Matt Brown rushedfor 26 of his game‐high 145 yards (19 carries) on the drive.

Villanova answered with a long drive of its own,moving the ball to the Temple 3 courtesy of big plays byAustin Medley and freshman QB John Robertson. Med‐ley broke a 36 yard run on the second play of the posses‐sion with Robertson, inserted for starter Chris Polony,broke a 14‐yard run and then connected with Medley ona 17‐yard pass play.

Temple's defensive backs Anthony Robey and JustinGildea took turns in breaking up pass plays to preseasonAll‐America WR Norman White to hold the Wildcats to a20‐yard Mark Hamilton field goal.

After the Owls' offense stalled on its next two pos‐sessions, senior safety Vaughn picked off a Polony passand returned it 57 yards to paydirt, making it 14‐3.

Carraway was not done. He recovered a Kevin Mo‐nangai fumble, forced by redshirt freshman LB Nate D.Smith, at the Villanova 24.

Coyer rushed for 19 yards on a quarterback drawto give the Cherry and White a 21‐3 advantage. He onlycompleted five‐of‐11 passes for 61 yards and one touch‐down, but he rushed 13 times for 80 yards and a score.

Robertson, who led VU in both rushing (76 yds on11 carries) and passing (5‐11‐0, 101 yds), led the Wildcatsto their lone touchdown. Fueled by a huge 37‐yardhookup to Monangai and two long runs (14 and 21 yds),Robertson capped the drive with a four‐yard TD run upthe middle with 1:04 remaining in the half to make it 21‐10.

Temple quickly answered with Brown breaking ahighlight‐reel 56‐yard TD run with 21 seconds left to givethe Owls a commanding 28‐10 lead at intermission.

Harper added a 38‐yard touch‐down late in the third quarter. Sen‐ior kicker Brandon McManus thenhit two fourth quarter field goals,his 47th and 48th of his career, tobecome the all‐time leader in fieldgoals.

Senior RB Montel Harris, mak‐ing his debut after transferringfrom Boston College, was limited tojust 11 yards on five carries due toa strained hamstring.

PHILADELPHIA – Temple's rallyfrom a 23‐point halftime deficit felljust short as the Owls lost to Mary‐land, 36‐27, in front of 23,322 fansat Lincoln Financial Field.

Maryland forced two first‐half Temple fumbles to take a 26‐3 lead at intermission. The Owlscould not do anything right overthe first 30 minutes against theTerps. Besides the fumbles, theCherry and White were penalizedfive times for 60 yards and a highsnap led to a safety.

Offensively, Temple mus‐tered just two first downs in thefirst half and 33 total yards. JuniorQB Chris Coyer, playing despite a101 fever, completed just one of three passes for sixyards, while senior RB Matt Brown was contained to 33yards on 10 carries.

The Terps, under the direction of true freshman QBPerry Hills, amounted 179 yards of total offense with Hillsconnecting on two TD passes to Marcus Leak (32 yds) andMatt Furstenburg (22 yds).

Senior PK Brandon McManus connected on a 35‐yard FG for the Owls only points in the half.

Instead of hanging their heads, the Owls regroupedat intermission and came out with new life to start thethird quarter.

Redshirt freshman LB Nate Smith, who led Templewith 11 tackles, forced a fumble on the first play of thesecond half which true freshman DB Tavon Young recov‐ered at the Maryland 35. Coyer then connected withsophomore WR Jalen Fitzpatrick for a 29 yard gain. Threeplays later sophomore RB Kenneth Harper barreled intothe end zone from one‐yard out to make it 26‐10.

Hill, who completed 11‐of‐20 passes for 190 yardsand 2 TDs, led Maryland down the field on the Terps en‐suing possession. The 12‐play, 67‐yard drive ended in aBrad Craddock 26 yard field goal.

It took Coyer just two plays to answer, as the south‐paw signal‐caller aired a perfect pass to senior WR CJHammond for a 62‐yard touchdown, making it 29‐17.

After Temple's defense held Maryland to a three‐and‐out, Coyer guided the Owls down the field on an 11‐play drive that culminated in a McManus 40‐yard fieldgoal to make the score 29‐20 with 13:46 remaining.

Young then sacked Hills for a 10‐yard loss on theTerps next possession, setting the tone for another de‐fensive hold for the Owls. Temple, however, saw its drivestall quickly as Coyer was sacked at midfield.

McManus, who punted five times for a 47.8 aver‐age, sailed one to the Maryland 12 where Harper drilledhim to force and recover a fumble.

The Owls were unable to punch it in from 12 yardsout, having to settle for a McManus field goal attempt

from 23 yards out. The attemptwas blocked by A.J. Francis.

Smith then made a huge playfor the Owls, stripping Wes Brownon the first play from scrimmage.

Coyer found Fitzpatrick overthe middle. The sophomore wide‐out juked his defender after thecatch and ran untouched the re‐maining 25 yards into the end zoneto make it 29‐27 with 7:04 to play.

Sophomore Justus Pickettended the Owls’ hopes for a come‐back with a seven‐yard TD run tomake it 36‐27 with 2:51 left.

STATE COLLEGE, PA ‐ Penn StateQB Matt McGloin completed 24‐of‐36 passes for a career‐high 318yards and one touchdown whilerushing for two other scores tolead the Nittany Lions to a 24‐6win over visiting Temple in front of93,680 fans at Beaver Stadium Sat‐urday afternoon.

McGloin had perhaps hisbest day as a Nittany Lion, direct‐ing the PSU offense to 491 totalyards and 27 first downs. TheOwls, on the other hand, struggledon offense against the tough PSUdefense, compiling only 237 yards,with 65 of those coming in thefinal minutes on Temple's lonetouchdown drive.

Junior QB Chris Coyer connected on 13‐of‐26 passesfor 124 yards and one touchdown while leading the Owlsin rushing with 64 yards on 13 carries. Coyer, who wassacked three times on the day, was never able to get theCherry and White offense clicking at a good pace. FourTemple drives failed to make a first down while anothertwo converted on only one before subsequently punting.

Penn State moved the ball effectively, but penalties(9 for 100 yards) proved to be the hosts achilles heel.

On PSU's third possession they finally found the endzone. McGloin connected with Allen Robinson on a 41‐yard touchdown pass.

Coyer answered by leading Temple on a 60‐yarddrive at the start which started at the end of the first quar‐ter and culminated with a 33‐yard Brandon McManusfield goal to cut the deficit to 7‐3. Senior RB Montel Har‐ris, who made his first start as an Owl, rushed for 14 ofhis 23 yards during the drive.

Penn State drove deep into Temple territory on theensuing possession before freshman CB Tavon Young in‐tercepted a McGloin pass at the 10‐yard line.

PSU pinned Temple, forcing a McManus punt fromthe Owls' 24. The Owls defense then held PSU at mid‐field, forcing a punt that Matt Brown fair caught at hisown seven.

The Nittany Lions defense stymied the Owls, forcedTemple to punt from its own five. McGloin then quicklydrove PSU down the field on a three‐play 35 yard drivein just 54 seconds with the Nittany Lion signal‐caller run‐ning it in for the score with 22 seconds left in the half tomake it 14‐3.

The second half saw the Owls continue to struggleon offense with consecutive three‐and‐outs to start thethird quarter. PSU then opened the game up with anotherMcGloin TD run, this time from two‐yards out, making it21‐3 with just under five minutes left in the third quarter.

Coyer then connected with Deon Miller on a 12‐yard pass play for one first down and rushed 20 yards for

another. The Owls drive stalled atthe PSU 25 with McManus con‐necting on a 42‐yarder to cut thedeficit to 21‐6.

Zwinak and McGloin then com‐bined to drive PSU down the field,but this time the Lions had to settleon a short (21 yd) Sam Ficken fieldgoal, making it 24‐6.

Temple answered with two bigpass plays, the first for 40 yards toMontel Harris, and the next for 24yards to Jalen Fitzpatrick, to give theOwls a first and goal at the PSU one.A shovel pass to Brown two playslater gave Temple its lone touch‐down with just 1:33 remaining.

Penn State then ran out the clockon its final possession to come away with the victory.

McManus again had an incredible day. Besides histwo field goals, he also punted six times for a 48.5 aver‐age while three of his four kickoffs went for touchbacks.

PHILADELPHIA ‐ Temple rejoinedthe BIG EAST in grand fashion Sat‐urday afternoon, defeating visitingSouth Florida, 37‐28, in its confer‐ence opener in front of a home‐coming crowd of 25,796 fans atLincoln Financial Field.

There were many stars inthe thrilling victory that saw fourlead changes and a game‐savingblocked field goal by senior DEMarcus Green with 1:19 remainingin the game and Temple holdingon to a 30‐28 lead. One play later,Owl senior RB Montel Harris icedthe game with a 35‐yard touch‐down run, to account for the finalscore.

Senior RB Matt Brown put Temple ahead for goodin the third quarter with a 15‐yd touchdown run to makeit 16‐14. Brown's score followed USF's opening drive ofthe second half that ended with a Lindsey Lamar 19‐ydtouchdown run that gave the Bulls a 14‐9 advantage.

The Bulls defense held the Owls to a three‐and‐outpossession, to give their offense plenty of time to drivefor the winning score.

True freshman Tyler Matakevich made a huge de‐fensive play, tackling Murray for a five‐yard loss on a thirdand one play. It was Matakevich's 12th solo tackle of thegame and 15th overall. That set up Maikon Bonani's 45‐yard field goal attempt, which Green rejected to preservethe Temple win.

EAST HARTFORD, CT— Sopho‐more WR Jalen Fitzpatrick hauledin a 14‐yard touchdown pass with19 seconds remaining to tie thegame and senior PK Brandon Mc‐Manus' 29‐yard field goal in over‐time propelled Temple to a 17‐14win Saturday afternoon atRentschler Field.

Fitzpatrick and McManuswere two of a plethora of stars forthe Owls, who won consecutiveBIG EAST games for the first timein program history.

Senior RB Montel Harrisreached the 100‐yard milestonefor the second straight week and24th time in his brilliant career. Hecarried the ball 30 times for a game‐high 142 yards whilescoring Temple's first touchdown on a 24‐yard run in theclosing minutes of the first half.

Then there was junior WR Deon Miller. He not onlymade an acrobatic grab on a third‐and‐13 play for a 33yard gain to set up the tying TD, but also recovered ablocked a field goal by Levi Brown minutes before thatkept the Huskies from putting the game out of reach. Itmarked the second straight game the Owls blocked afourth quarter field goal to help facilitate a victory.

Last, but certainly not least, was freshman LB TylerMatakevich, who seemed to be everywhere on the fieldin posting a game‐high 19 tackles.

What made the win so incredible was how the con‐test started. UConn jumped all over Temple, scoring twofirst‐quarter touchdowns to take a 14‐0 lead in the firstquarter. The Huskies amassed 192 yards of total offensewhile its highly‐touted defense limited the Owls to a mere11 yards. UConn QB Chandler Whitmer was 8‐10 for 159yards and two TDs, as he methodically directed the Huskieattack.

The Huskies also missed a 36‐yard field goal attempt,one of four costly misses on the day by Chad Christen.

It looked like the homecoming for Addazio, a nativeof Farmington, CT, was not going to be a pleasant one.

Then the Owls started to find their legs offensively,while the defense started to put pressure on Whitmer.

Temple, which had just eight total yards on its firstfour possessions, used Harris' strong legs on its fifth drive.Starting at their own 20, Owls' QB Chris Coyer (13‐26‐1,126 yds) connected with redshirt freshman Jason Christo‐pher for a 13‐yard first down. Harris, who had been heldto 10 yards on his first six carries, broke off a 33‐yard runto the UConn 32. Two plays later Harris broke free again,this time finding paydirt, to cut the deficit to 14‐7.

Neither team was able to threaten in what provedto be a defensive battle in the third quarter.

The Huskies moved the ball downfield to start thefourth, but Temple's defense forced UConn to attempt a

field goal with Christen missing wideright from 42.

Temple senior DE Marcus Greensacked Whitmer forcing a fumblethat was recovered by BrandonChudnoff at the UConn 33.

UConn was in field goal position,but again Christen could not con‐vert, this time though it was Millerdeflecting it with his fingertips tothwart the 44‐yard attempt.

With just under three minutes re‐maining, Coyer engineered a 12‐play, 72‐yard drive. With 19seconds to go, Coyer found Fitz‐patrick in the end zone to tie thegame.

The Owls allowed one first downon the Huskies overtime possession before forcing aChristen field goal attempt. The UConn placekicker againmissed wide right.

Following a Harris 10‐yard gain, the Owls went toMcManus on third down for a 29‐yard attempt. The sen‐ior kicker connected on his eighth (10 tries) of the seasonto lift the team to victory.

TEMPLE NOTES• Temple Team Captains: #4 DB Justin Gildea, #41DE Marcus Green, #19 PK/P Brandon McManus, and#73 OL Martin Wallace.• Carrying flags for Temple were #12 QB ConnorReilly (American), #23 DB Daquan Cooper (Philadel‐phia), and #32 LB Tyler Matakevich (Temple).• Redshirt freshman WR John Christopher madehis first appearance in the starting line‐up. • The 17‐14 overtime win gave Temple back‐to‐back wins in BIG EAST play for the first time in schoolhistory.

PHILADELPHIA ‐ The #19/17 Rut‐gers Scarlet Knights scored on theirfirst four possessions of the sec‐ond half to come back from a 10‐0halftime deficit and defeat theTemple Owls, 35‐10, Saturday af‐ternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.The game was played in front ofthe 35,145 fans, the third largestcrowd to watch a Temple game inthe 10 years the Owls have beenplaying in the venue.

The game was a tale of twohalves as Temple, wearing newblack uniforms, used a strong rungame, which accounted for 81yards against Rutgers' defense thatentered the contest ranked sec‐ond nationally against the run (60.8 ypg.). The Owls de‐fense was imposing, holding the Scarlet Knights to 100total yards while keeping them off the scoreboard.

Temple took a 7‐0 lead as junior QB Chris Coyerconnected with junior TE Cody Booth for a four‐yard TDreception with under a minute to go in the opening quar‐ter. Booth made a nice diving catch on the ball that wasdeflected by Owls' sophomore RB Kenny Harper on thethird and goal play.

Booth’s TD was the culmination of an eight‐play,46‐yard drive that included a 14‐yard completion to soph‐omore WR Jalen Fitzpatrick to the Rutgers 10.

Senior kicker Brandon McManus, who earliermissed a field goal from 48 yards, connected on one from49 yards with 2:01 remaining in the half to extend theOwls lead to 10‐0. The Temple drive was also aided by aMcManus 68‐yard punt, the longest of his career, thatpinned RU inside its 10.

The Owls could have led by more, but Coyer (7‐14‐1, 65 yds) fumbled on a fourth‐and‐one at the RU 27 onthe Owls opening drive. It halted an impressive 11‐playpossession that included 10 rushes for 45 yards. SeniorRB Montel Harris, who had 81 yards on 19 carries, ac‐counted for 24 of those yards.

Temple's defense allowed only 110 yards in thefirst half and just four first downs. Sophomore SS ChrisHutton, who started in place of senior Vaughn Carraway(suspended by the conference for a hit in the UConn win),forced a fumble at the start of the second quarter thatwas recovered by senior SS Justin Gildea. It was one oftwo turnovers the Owls defense forced over the first 30minutes as freshman DB Tavon Young intercepted Rut‐gers QB Gary Nova's pass to end the half.

The second half was all Rutgers as the ScarletKnights came out looking like the team that is ranked 15thin the latest BCS poll, scoring touchdowns on its first fourpossessions and then capping a run of 35 straight pointswith a Khaseem Greene 20 yard TD off a fumble by Coyerwith just under 11 minutes remaining.

The Owls defense looked like adifferent unit in the third quarter, al‐lowing 223 yards over the 15 min‐utes and 21 points. Nova had noproblem moving his team down thefield, completing 11 of 13 passes for166 yards and three touchdowns.Sophomore RB Jawan Jamison (19rushes, 114 yds) had 109 total yardsin the quarter, 53 on the ground onseven carries, and another 56 onfour catches, including a 32‐yard TDcatch that gave RU the lead for goodat 14‐10.

PITTSBURGH‐ Pittsburgh jumpedout to a quick 14‐0 lead and neverlooked back in posting a 47‐17 winover visiting Temple Saturday af‐ternoon at Heinz Field.

Temple's defense held thePanthers on its opening posses‐sion, but the Panthers’ first puntwas muffed by the Owls, hittingdefender Anthony Robey in theback. Pitt took advantage of thebreak and following two big passplays from Tino Sunseri to MikeShanahan, Rushel Shell capped theseven‐play drive with a one‐yardtouchdown run to make it, 7‐0.

The Owls moved the ball tomidfield, courtesy of a running intothe kicker penalty before having topunt. Pitt then quickly moved 90 yards on six plays withSunseri, connecting with J.P. Holtz on an 18‐yard touch‐down pass to put the Panthers ahead 14‐0. Sunseri, whocompleted 20‐of‐28 passes for 321 yards and three touch‐downs on the day, dumped a screen pass for 33 yards toRay Graham (108 all‐purpose yards: 109 rushing, 71 re‐ceiving) and hooked up with Shanahan for a 22‐yard re‐ception to set up the score.

A 77‐yard kickoff return by senior Matt Brown setup the Owls’ lone score in the first half.

Two explosive pass plays by Bridgewater, a 27‐yarder to DeVontae Parker and a 22‐yarder to AndrellSmith, set up a Jeremy Wright three‐yard touchdown runto make the score 24‐17.

The Owls drove the ball to midfield on their nextpossession with Harris converting a huge fourth‐and‐oneat the Temple 48 to keep the drive alive. Then, on thenext play, a snap that soared over Coyer's head put TU ina second‐and‐28 hole that stalled the drive.

Louisville then went on a back‐breaking 90‐yarddrive that culminated in a 12‐yard Bridegwater to Smithtouchdown pass to give the Cardinals a 31‐17 lead justprior to intermission.

The Cardinals capitalized on two Coyer third quar‐ter fumbles to put the game away, The first one followeda huge 30‐yard punt return that gave the Owls the ball atthe Louisville 45. The junior QB lost the ball on a thirddown and two play after he appeared to have a firstdown. Bridgewater hit Parker on a 25‐yard touchdownon the ensuing drive to make it 38‐17.

PHILADELPHIA— Junior QB JuiceGranger had his best day as anOwl, completing 16‐of‐23 passesfor 173 yards and one TD andrushing for 61 yards and anotherscore, but it was not enough asTemple fell to Syracuse, 38‐20,Friday at Lincoln Financial Fieldin its final game of the season.The Owls close the year at 4‐7overall and 2‐5 in BIG EAST play.

Senior Montel Harris hadanother strong day in his finalgame as a college player. TheTemple running back becamethe ninth Owl to rush for 1,000yards in a season. He had hisfifth 100‐yard rushing game ofthe season and 27th of his ca‐reer, compiling 106 yards on 21 carries to end the2012 campaign with 1,054 yards to rank eighth on theTU all‐time list.

Seniors CJ Hammond and Vaughn Carraway putin solid days in their final game donning the Cherryand White. Hammond set career highs with twocatches and a team‐best 64 yards, while Carrawaymade a career‐high 10 solo tackles and recovered afumble.

The Owls jumped out to a 10‐0 lead over the Or‐ange as Granger, making his second career start, ledTU on scoring drives on two other its first three pos‐sessions.

Senior PK Brandon McManus connected on a 47‐yard field goal on the game's opening drive. After notone, but two Syracuse fumbles, Granger connectedwith redshirt freshman John Christopher for a 12‐yardtouchdown. Granger also helped set that up with a30‐yard run to the SU 10 yard‐line, his longest careerrun from scrimmage.

The Orange scored on their first two possessionsof the second quarter. First senior QB Ryan Nassib(16‐28‐0, 215 yds, 1 TD) hit Marcus Sales on a slantpattern for a 24‐yard TD. Then Adonis Ameen‐Moorebroke off an 18‐yard touchdown run, one of his twoTDs on the game.

McManus extended his school record for careerfield goals to 60 with a 22‐yarder on the Owls' ensuingdrive to cut the deficit to 14‐13.

Harris, serving as the team's punt returner assenior Matt Brown missed his final game due to injury,fumbled an Orange punt at the Temple 47. That ledto a 26‐yard field goal by Ross Krautman to give theSyracuse a 17‐13 advantage at the half.

In the third, Granger hit Hammond on a 45‐yardpass play to the Orange 10. On the next play, the jun‐ior QB ran to paydirt for his first rushing TD of his ca‐reer to put Temple ahead, 20‐17.

The veteran Syracuse squad responded with two75‐yard scoring drives.

That broke the momentum ofthe young Owl team, which mus‐tered only one first down on itsnext two drives before Keon Lynpicked off Granger and ran it 31yards for a game‐sealing touch‐down to make it 38‐20 with 2:37remaining.
