For the first time since 2012, Temple (0-1) and Villanova (1-0) will go toe-to-toe. In the current series, Temple is on a three-game winning streak, dating back to Sept. 3, 2010 when the Owls topped the Wildcats, 31-24.
Temple is coming off of a loss in its season opener against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 49-16. However, the anticipation to see who would start for the Owls at quarterback came to an end when redshirt-freshman Logan Marchi took the first snap. In his first career start, Marchi played well, completing 19 of 35 attempts for 245 yards and two touchdowns - distributing the ball to nine different receivers.
