My good friend sent me a message earlier today noting that it was 4 years ago this week that we miraculously pulled out a late victory against UMASS. It required blocking an XP and returning it for 2 points. The type of stuff that only happens in college football, never in the NFL, where one team's athleticism is so much greater than their opponents that you can actually will yourself and your teammates to turn an XP attempt into 2 points going the other way. When that game was being played, all of us were in complete shock. We had just beaten Penn State and a very well respected Cincinnati team in back to back weeks. In the land of Temple football, we were dealing with emotions that I'm not sure had ever been felt before.
So the question that I asked was... is that our best comeback moment? What other great comebacks are we missing? Two others that stand out are certainly 2016 UCF... and 2018 Cincinnati.
Thanks for your input!
