Rhule: “It better be” Walker’s team

Dressed in a cherry jumpsuit with a white Temple “T” on the left side of his chest, junior quarterback P.J. Walker followed two police officers to the Owls’ usual pre-game “Fly-in,” this time in Boca, Raton Florida and palm trees in the background.

With white beats headphones around his neck and his black Under Armour duffle bag and red backpack strapped on his shoulders, Walker walked out in front of his teammates through the cheering crowd lining the path to FAU Stadium to face the University of Toledo in Tuesday’s Marmot Boca Raton Bowl.

After Walker entered through the black gates into the stadium followed by his teammates, and eventually stepped onto the wet field, the junior quarterback completed 23-of-42 pass attempts for 236 yards passing and one interception in Temple’s 32-17 season-ending loss to the Rockets.
