@MDiFebbo Both Steve Joachim and Lee Saltz were definitely considered Joachim won the Maxwell in ’74 and Saltz had strong 80s numbers. I almost put them HM, but went with Chris Coyer since he bridged the gap to P.J. Walker and kept the program afloat when thrown in to the starting QB role.

@TempleFootball_ Steve Joachim, Lee Saltz?

Here’s my Top All-Time Temple QBs 🦉 PJ still the 🐐 Burris brought the legacy Russo racked up numbers DiMichele had that swagger Warner piled up stats in a short span HM goes to the dual-threat king Chris Coyer Thoughts??🤔💭 #TempleMade #TempleFootball #OwlsNest

Last season Howard went 4‑8 (1‑4 MEAC). They’re built tough, coached by Larry Scott. They have pedigree too, MEAC champs in ’22–’23 and bringing that underdog swagger to Philly this Saturday.

Howard is also 1‑0 after the Orange Blossom Classic thriller,QB Tyriq Starks engineered a 10‑play two‑minute drive setting up Matt Conord’s 43‑yard walk‑off FG to beat FAMU 10–9.

We snapped the winless road streak now it’s time to defend the Nest. • Second-ever meeting vs. Howard, first since 1991 • ESPN gives Owls a 97% win chance Prediction: Temple 38, Howard 13 🦉 #TempleTUFF | #OwlsNest 🧵

Sundays are a lot better after a @Temple_FB win!!

Yeah, it’s “just” UMass… but man, this feels different. We took care of business clean, confident, and under control. Long way to go, but this feels like the start of something real. Dare I say… 2015 vibes? 🦉🍒 Welcome @CoachKCKeeler. #TempleTUFF | #OwlsNest
