It's called Temple Tuff. Or in the social media world, #TempleTuff. The slogan is meant to symbolize the fight, grit and toughness of Temple's football program. It was actually coined by John Chaney, the late Temple men's basketball coach, whose teams were known for their hard-nosed passion.
But now it's time for USF Tuff.
If ever there's an occasion for the USF Bulls to display their toughness, resolve and grit, this is definitely it. The Bulls (1-5, 0-2 AAC) need a victory to establish momentum in Coach Jeff Scott's second season and the Temple Owls (3-3, 1-1 AAC) are the obstacle in Saturday night's game at Raymond James Stadium (ESPN+).
