Temple football ranked No. 25 in USA Today Coaches Poll, but not in AP rankings

For three seasons, the Owls' linebacker was on the outside looking in at being a full-fledged member of the program. This season, persistence paid off in a big way.

The Owls and Nittany Lions last played in 2016 and meet for the 46th time in the series on Saturday. Both teams are coming off season-opening wins last week.

Penn State vs. Temple will be reignited Saturday at the Linc. While Penn State has won 32 of the last 33 meetings, the history between these two programs goes beyond the final score.

Ford, Temple's leading scorer last season, was among a group of athletes who challenged a Louisiana court for a fifth season of eligibility. He is expected to play the 2026-27 season for the Owls.

Keeler's Rowan football team stopped Mount Union's 54-game winning streak 27 years ago on a squad that featured Campbell and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Temple and Penn State will play on Saturday.

K.C. Keeler used a two-quarterback system against Rhode Island, but he hopes to name a starter prior to Saturday. However, he wants to see “more consistency” from both Ajani Sheppard and Jaxon Smolik.

Owls running back Keveun Mason scored twice against Rhode Island, while Temple's defense accounted for three turnovers, including two pick sixes.

In 2025, K.C. Keeler was one game short of leading the Owls to their first bowl game since 2019. With a tough nonconference schedule, September will be a measuring stick of how far this team can go.

With the Owls having more continuity, especially on offense, the team's key returners made it a priority this offseason to get the newcomers acclimated. Their approach seems to be resonating.

More than 1,500 men's college basketball players entered the transfer portal, which officially opened on April 7, and included several Big 5 players.

The Chicago Charities College All-Star game was a preseason game between college all-stars and NFL champions. But could such a proving ground happen in today's game?

“I still don’t think anyone has really separated themselves,” said Owls coach K.C. Keeler, who will continue to look at both quarterbacks until one separates himself from the other.

Quarterback Ajani Sheppard says he’s “never seen a room so close like the linebackers.” And it starts with simply hanging out away from the field and sharing some home-cooked meals.

Xfinity Mobile Arena will once again host the men's championship day on Dec. 5, while the Palestra will welcome the women's final day on Dec. 6.

Brown’s college career has been hampered by injuries. In his fifth and final year, the Philly native is fully healthy and looks to be one of the Owls’ most important offensive pieces.

Coach K.C. Keeler is content to let the quarterback competition between Jaxon Smolik and Ajani Sheppard play out as long as it takes. Here are some observations from Monday's practice.
