Lowe listed at 6'6 165 wearing #11
Alston listed at 6'4 170 wearing #3
Big Ern listed at 6'10 235 wearing #24
Ayan listed at 6'5 190 wearing #32

No other changes listed, which is surprising. Figured Obi would be up at least 10 pounds and Dingle would be down at least 10 pounds.

EDIT: Don't remember it being mentioned, but Chris Clark is back at Temple. He was previously an assistant at Campbell.

Will be really concerned if our best pass rusher is unable to go on Sat.

Hope he can get it together...

SB Nation articles usually sound like they were written by a dyslexic guy with a GED, tops. This I thought was very nicely done.

Marcus Satterfield spent plenty of time talking to reporters today after practice, but he was cautious about getting too specific about position battles. The official depth chart will come out Monday.

But it sounds like the No. 2 quarterback spot belongs to Frank Nutile, and it sure sounds like Ryquell Armstead has had a great camp. When you ask about the running back position, his name keeps coming up. That's not to say that T.J. Simmons and Jager Gardner haven't performed well, but Simmons has missed some time (dinged up is the descriptor being used, but he seemed to be walking around today just fine) and Armstead seems to have been the most consistent of the three.

And while Satterfield wasn't getting into naming a starting five along the offensive line, Kyle Friend said Leon Johnson has done a nice job over the last couple of weeks, so it sounds like he could be making a push to be the starting right tackle. We'll see.

Pretty cool stuff. Servite is a big time program. http://sports.yahoo.com/byu/football/recruiting/player-Tyler-Lytle-160713

The last time we played PSU at the linc it was in the 10-12k range (I do not recall the exact figure).

Any idea how ticket distribution has been going with the student body?

I'd hope our folks in the ADs office are pushing as hard as they can.

There is definitely a correlation between fandom and victories. Furthermore, the potential to instill a long lasting memory with thousands of students (future alums) who will decide to return to make many more.

As I recall the first half of last years game was pretty equal. It was the 4 interceptions in the second half that killed us.

The running game was dismal, but we were able to throw on their secondary. I believe if we can establish a running game our receivers may be able to break free downfield. All PJ needs is a little more protection from the O-line.

Two questions:
1. Is it good we are playing this soon after last years lost in Nov?
2. How should we attack the Nits in order to win?

Thoughts?

In looking for some good podcast listening material to ramp up the football season, I stumbled on this. If you have an hour plus to kill it is a good listen.

Dion Dawkins? I remember how well he shut down ND's highly touted DT (can't remember the name) as a freshman in '13. It seems like he would be able to handle AZ's quickness.

Or do we double team him and keep Thompson in to block?

Spoke with Alani Moore, who will be making his official visit to Temple starting this Friday.

Temple's Jahad Thomas moves closer to being the No. 1 running back according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. It also says Thomas may even play some defense?

I see he's listed on the depth chart as first team WR. Can anyone confirm this?

It would be great to see Jennings and Anderson on the outside...

Matt Rhule was asked about walk-on Nick Sharga today during the American coaches teleconference. Sharga won one of the last two single-digit numbers last week in practice, and he's a walk-on from Northampton High School and a transfer from West Virginia Wesleyan.

Rhule and the coaches have typically had high praise for Sharga, who stood out during the spring game, and today Rhule described Sharga as the team's backup middle linebacker and someone who could also be a fullback in goal line situations, so there's another name to throw in the mix when it comes time to talking about a potential fullback.

We're reviving The Scoop, a podcast we did several years ago, and we'll be recording our first episode today. Once we get everything up and running, we'll hopefully be on iTune or TuneIn.

Each podcast will have conversation about the usual stuff - football, basketball and recruiting, along with in-season preview and matchup talk. Jamie Gray, one of our new interns, will be on board with us to facilitate the conversation.

Each week, we'll feature a mailbag segment in which we answer your questions, so feel free to post them here and we'll also advertise this on Twitter as well.

There's obviously a lot to talk about this week between the kickoff of the football season and a couple of prominent basketball recruits being on campus recently in Alani Moore and Sedee Keita. We hope to have the podcast posted first on the site later this week, so stay tuned.

Official Game Day Shirt

Get it here and get it quickly. One color, over blue and white.

Just listened to the second scrimmage report audio, and heard Coach Rhule say the freshman DL is out for the season with a broken ankle. That's disappointing, but I guess he might have redshirted this season anyway. Still, it's a bummer.
