Through 5 weeks, he is the #1 true freshman RB in rushing yards, and #4 overall for freshmen RBs. The 3 ahead of him are Elijah Collins at MSU (5 games played, 413 yards), Kenneth Gainwell at Memphis (4 games played, 411 yards), and Javian Hawkins at Louisville (4 games played, 390 yards). Davis has 346 yards rushing in 4 games.

Well, we've got to start somewhere. Now that we're noticed, every victory should bring us closer to the top 25.

Before today’s games, we are ranked 41st.

6 AAC teams are in the top 42

UCF, SMU, Memphis, Cincinnati, TU, Tulane

Next 3 up are Top 25 to Top 27, depending on the poll being checked out.

All big tests. Yes, we’re 4 - 1. But if we want to be known as a player this season, taking at least 2 of 3 and being bowl eligible on or before the end of play vs UCF on Oct. 26th will be a beautiful thing.

Go Owls!

Former Temple verbal Raheem Blackshear appears to be redshirting at Rutgers (along with their starting QB). Maybe he looks to transfer....

Our running game is now the best part of our offense and it controls the ball and gives us better chances to pass on play action. This is a huge plus . QB needs to manage the game and let the opportunities come to him

Our defense is wonderful and really has focus . However there were a lot of 50/50 balls thrown by ECU QB and we didn’t make plays . Need more turnovers and take advantage of passes into coverage

12 penalties with most of them procedure or offsides and let a far inferior club stay in the game . We do that against the next three opponents and we will lose plain and simple .

Didn't we say he couldn't coach? Oh what a change in scenery makes. It also helps that it is easy to recruit at OSU.

I would think we will be heavy favorites against South Florida and UConn . That gets us to six wins .

Then you really have five tough games against Memphis , @SMU , UCF , Tulane and @Cincy .

2 and 3 makes us an 8 and 4 team , 3 and 2 is 9 and 3 . I would be very happy with 3 and 2 against that competition.

I know he engineered a drive that led to a field goal, but if he is a "dual-threat" QB, I'm Tom Brady. He runs like a linebacker and seems to lack that quick first step and real speed. Am I wrong?

Some of the greatest hits:

Who are you rooting for and why?

I’m pulling for Cincinnati, if they beat UCF they are much more likely to stumble given its more difficult schedule (us, Memphis, Houston).

Hit by UCF LB Evans on Cincy QB Ritter: You tell me that wasn't targeting? Temple players have been tossed this year for lesser hits.

Dreadful defense and totally lacking focus . Again on the road. Who has ever heard of three offsides in one drive. WTFU

Doesn't want to play any more this year. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that in last year's game against Saturday's opponent Maryland, Rugrat QBs completed only one pass all game, and SITkowski, who played the majority of that game, threw a shutout.

This is an interesting comparison to Temple (who has relied on few transfers due to the recruits Rhule brought in). With a lot of players moving on from the defense after this year (and not really sure how Collins recruited), I am hoping Carey and his staff pursue some of these players to help for next year.

We have a zone sighting on North Broad Street. I repeat, we have a ZONE sighting!

There are currently only five schools that have a former head coach as a head coach in the NFL: Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC, Penn State, and Temple.

If Matt Rhule moves to the NFL while Bruce Arians is still coaching, Baylor would become the sixth school on that list, but Temple would become the only school with two.

On today's American Athletic Conference coaches' call, I asked Rod Carey about the running backs and who the third back might be, especially considering the Owls are coming up on a short week and after Re'Mahn Davis carried the ball 29 times.

Carey did mention that Kyle Dobbins is still in the mix as that third back. After that, he mentioned preferred walk-on Tayvon Ruley and true freshman Ed Saydee from Penn Charter as the next backs up.

We'll have the full audio up later today.

terrible terrible throw . He has to throw th3 ball away with points at stake . Kid has to get smarter .

Hi, everyone!

It's Tuesday and we're recording our next episode of The Scoop, our weekly podcast, at 5 p.m. Send us your mailbag questions and we'll answer them on the show.

Thanks as always for listening!

I know this sounds like flaming, but I really didn't believe TU would beat UB last week. I was hoping/reading how the UB faithful were basically conceding that game before it was even played and I almost came around to trusting Temple. That said, I have that same nagging feeling this week with GT and the point spread. I hope I'm wrong, but the TUFB pessimist in me is getting the "bad vibe."

GOTU.

With two weeks to go, how does Rod Carey’s squad fare in the their non-conference matchups?

Temple is set to host 3-star forward Quincy Ademokoyoa from Norcross HS in Georgia starting tomorrow, Ademokoyoa tells me.

Ademokoyoa is originally from Illinois and recently transferred to Norcross from Dacula HS in Georgia. There was talk of Ademokoyoa prepping and becoming a 2021 prospect but Temple likes him as a 2020 prospect. Ademokoyoa has offers from schools like DePaul, Saint Louis and Ohio.

I have again not been able to access the current Temple basketball board. Who ever has the ability to fix this board please do so. If you get this message North Broad please help, help, help.
