Keelerโs debut was electric ๐ฅ
๐ 42 points (2nd most in a Temple coaching debut)
๐ช 6 passing TDs (most ever in a debut)
๐ 467 yards of offense (2nd most)
Only Rod Careyโs 2019 opener vs Bucknell edges him out statisticallyโฆ but this felt bigger. #TempleTUFF#OwlsNest

@MDiFebbo Both Steve Joachim and Lee Saltz were definitely considered Joachim won the Maxwell in โ74 and Saltz had strong 80s numbers. I almost put them HM, but went with Chris Coyer since he bridged the gap to P.J. Walker and kept the program afloat when thrown in to the starting QB role.
Hereโs my Top All-Time Temple QBs ๐ฆ
PJ still the ๐
Burris brought the legacy
Russo racked up numbers
DiMichele had that swagger
Warner piled up stats in a short span
HM goes to the dual-threat king Chris Coyer
Thoughts??๐ค๐ญ

Last season Howard went 4โ8 (1โ4 MEAC). Theyโre built tough, coached by Larry Scott. They have pedigree too, MEAC champs in โ22โโ23 and bringing that underdog swagger to Philly this Saturday.
We snapped the winless road streak now itโs time to defend the Nest.
โข Second-ever meeting vs. Howard, first since 1991
โข ESPN gives Owls a 97% win chance
Prediction: Temple 38, Howard 13 ๐ฆ

Howard is also 1โ0 after the Orange Blossom Classic thriller,QB Tyriq Starks engineered a 10โplay twoโminute drive setting up Matt Conordโs 43โyard walkโoff FG to beat FAMU 10โ9.
Yeah, itโs โjustโ UMassโฆ but man, this feels different.
We took care of business clean, confident, and under control.
Long way to go, but this feels like the start of something real.
Dare I sayโฆ 2015 vibes? ๐ฆ๐
Welcome @CoachKCKeeler.
