TEMPLE TUFF

Wearing a single-digit jersey is considered to be one of the highest honors an Owl can earn. These are awarded to the student-athletes deemed by their teammates to be the toughest members of the team. Two players have carried over the honor from last season: Delvon Randall and Ryquell Armstead - each earned their’s in 2017. Bradley, Dogbe and Nutile earned theirs this spring, Bryant, Hennessy, Ritrovato, Russell and Ya-Sin this summer. The NCAA prohibits offensive linemen from wearing numbers outside of 50-79 in a game so Hennessy will still wear #58 in games. Here is a list of Temple’s TUFF Guys:

THE ULTIMATE WEAPON Philadelphia football fans are familiar with a guy named Randall being “the ultimate weapon.” Randall Cunningham was dubbed that in 1990 on the cover of Sports Illus- trated. Now, Temple’s Delvon Randall takes on the role. Randall was a ball-hawking takeaway machine in 2016 with 65 tackles, 6.0 TFLs, four interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. He backed that up with another four INTs and 80 tackles a year ago en route to first team All-American Athletic Conference honors.

12 ABOVE THE LINE

Since he was first asked about depth charts and two-deeps, Geoff Collins has insisted that he doesn’t believe in them. He coaches his players to be “Above the Line” (ATL). Those who are ATL are ready to play and can see game action, while others work to get to that level. This season in place of a traditional two-deep that often omits some players who see action and lists others who seldom enter the game, Temple will list those players who are ATL (in numerical order by position). Those players who started the previous week, will be printed in bold. For the opener, those players who had at least one start in 2017 are in bold.
