It’s a new season with a new coach for the Temple Owls. Unfortunately, the 2019 season ended eerily similar to last year.
Temple allowed 56 points in the Independence Bowl loss to the Duke Blue Devils. Duke played so well in the game that many have joked that the Owls are the reason why Daniel Jones was selected early in last year’s NFL Draft.
Fast forward a year later, the result was almost exactly the same. In another bowl game against an Atlantic Coastal Conference opponent, the Owls yielded 55 points to the North Carolina Tar Heels in the Military Bowl on Friday.
