For the first time in the 100+ year history of Temple football, the Owls will host another team with an Owl mascot. History will be made for Temple when they host Florida Atlantic Saturday afternoon from Lincoln Financial Field. Both teams enter the game with identical 2-7 records. This will be the first matchup for both teams with Florida Atlantic now in their 2nd season in the AAC.
This game will also feature a reunion for both head coaches. Temple's Stan Drayton and Florida Atlantic's Tom Herman have quite a history together. Both were assistants on the 2014 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes. While Herman was the head coach at Texas, Drayton was an assistant coach on Herman's staff.
Temple is hoping to rebound after last week's defeat against Tulane. Temple struggled to get anything going. It was only until the final offensive play of the game that Terrez Worthy was able to break free for a 75-yard touchdown to get the Owls on the board.
Florida Atlantic is coming off a 49-14 defeat on the road against East Carolina.
Kickoff is set for 2pm from Lincoln Financial Field. The game can be streamed on ESPN+.
