Temple Owls
Temple had a rough loss to an undefeated Army team, being outgained and outperformed in nearly every aspect of the game. Quarterback Evan Simon had a decent performance but was sacked multiple times. Dante Wright has been a standout player on offense, but the team overall has struggled to put up points and yards both passing and rushing. The Owls have had a tough start to the season, especially on the road where they have been heavily outscored. Their upcoming opponent, UCONN, has a decent defense ranking in the nation, which may pose a challenge for Temple. Overall, Temple is ranked low in power rankings and has a lot of areas to improve on both offensively and defensively.
