. . . takes down UCF.

It seemed to me that he didn’t play a single offensive snap. Am I right about that? What is happening here?

This is getting ahead of it in a big way, but what happens if Houston hangs on to beat UCF, we win out (including beating Cincinnati of course) and the Bearcats lose their last game vs Memphis? That would create a three way tie.

With Graham-Mobley reportedly out for the season, do we play him? He would still be under the games limit for a redshirt year.

Courtney Murphy talked to both players after Tuesday night's game to ask them about their first game in a Temple uniform and what they're working on moving forward.

... Owls currently -1 1/2 on the road. Thought the line was telling me something against UCF with the Owls as big Dogs at home but this tells me the same thing.

Go Owls -- gore the Bulls!!

It is about what I expected . Temple should be an above average defensive team because they have good athletes that can switch on defense . They also have a lot of playable players so fatigue shouldn’t be an issue . They played good defense tonight .


On offense , it will come down to two major items . Can they get “ free points “ aggressively going to the basket on breaks and then in the half court can they make an average amount of threes . These were a mixed bag in game 1 .

As our coach stated : “ Not the way I pictured us playing but a win is a win “ . “ We have a lot of work to do “

Gametime temperature 80 degrees with
humidity.

Someone has to step up in the
Owls running game

GO OWLS!!!!!!

The last thing we need is for our Owls to show up on Saturday . . . when the game is tonight!

I'm in Tampa with some friends and purchased tickets through the Owl Club. Anyone planning to meet up before the game?

Go Owls!

So, now the AAC has four teams in the Top 25. Only the SEC and B1G have more.

Navy joined the club today.

Aresco is talking the P6 talk and the football teams are walking the walk.

TV announcers doing the games are noticing and making their opinions known on live tv.

Also, it looks like the SEC, Pac, and the ACC may not be able fill all of their bowl slots.

Parity is getting a bit closer to reality - at least with respect to the AAC.

What we need this year is some bowl wins over the P5 teams. That will continue walking the walk. And the talk will get louder.

Your thoughts?

Drag your friends to the opener for Drexel. We need life back in the building and while we all do our part, let's try and do more. As low as $5 tickets to get in the door. Heck, buy them and donate them to a local school.

Some audio from Aaron McKie talking about Alani Moore and a roundup of last night's win closes out this week's podcast.

Well, here we are. The McKie era officially begins. Very curious to see us play a high tempo aggressive game.

Rod Carey said during today's media session that he does not expect running back Re'Mahn Davis and safety Benny Walls to play Thursday at USF, although it is worth noting that Walls did practice in full pads Tuesday.

"Nope, Benny won't be ready to go," Carey said. "He's one of the ones that won't be out there, so we're disappointed about that certainly, but Benny is working his rear end off to get back and has improved."

Regarding Davis, Carey said:

"I don't think he'll be ready to go. I think he's one of the ones that won't be ready to go, but he's a lot closer than I thought he was going to be, I'll tell you that, (with) the way he looked last week."

When I asked Carey if the injury he sustained came against UCF, Carey said, "Yeah. Lower body, lower leg. Just banged up. He's been fighting a little bit of that since, probably, Georgia Tech, so that game certainly took it out of him."

When Sam Neumann asked Rod about who would get the bulk of the carries in addition to Jager Gardner, Carey mentioned redshirt-junior Tayvon Ruley (he had 4 carries for 7 yards late in the UCF loss) and said that maybe freshman Edward Saydee could see some time, too.

I asked Carey about the status of Kyle Dobbins, and Carey said he "just had completed his first week of full practice. So he had been out for an extended period of time, so he's just getting some confidence on it. He'd certainly be there in an emergency role for this game."

As Carey said yesterday during the American's coaches' call, center Matt Hennessy and defensive tackle Ifeanyi Maijeh have practiced all week and are expected to play.

We're recording around 5 p.m. today. We'll have audio from the team's media session today and plenty of basketball talk.

If you have mailbag questions, post them here and we'll answer them on the podcast.

Hi, everyone.

Taking mailbag questions for this week's episode of The Scoop if you have them.

We're recording part of the podcast before tonight's game and will do a basketball wrap-up after the game, so if you have some basketball-related questions, we may wait until after the game to answer them.

Thanks for listening!

Couldn’t get the tweet to actually show up I’m just not technically sound, but basically Temple the Lasalle basketball and Temple to Tulane football conflict on the same day, November 16.

Reflections on his path to head coach at TU. Great listening. Check it out.

Scrolling down AP this morning and, whoa, a well done story about Coach and Temple:
