The Temple Owls have a long history in college football, but it has been mostly years of turmoil. The program has been around since 1894, and while they have been successful as of late, they sport a losing record of 455-574-52 (.445), and currently have no players in the College Football Hall of Fame.
That should not be the case, however. Former Owls running back Paul Palmer deserves to be there.
Palmer was an integral part of Bruce Arian’s offense in his four seasons in Philadelphia, setting 23 school records and four NCAA records at the time.
