ALL-AMERICAN CANDIDATES Delvon Randall | JR | Safety A BALL-HAWKING DEFENDER The Temple secondary has long been anchored by elite athletes, ranging from current four-year starter Sean Chandler to NFL con- tributor Nate Hairston, but Randall has added another dimension to the unit this season. The junior safety entered the year with four career interceptions, but through 11 games has doubled his investment with another four, vaulting himself into a tie for 10th nationally and second in the American Athletic Conference. Fur- ther, three of the safety’s picks came in consecutive games, a first for the program since 2001 when Chonn Lacey accomplished the same feat in the final three games of that season. Lastly, Randall’s eight career interceptions moves the junior into a tie for 11th all- time in Temple’s record books.

BACKFIELD FAMILIAR A great safety understands how to protect against the passing game and make any receiver think twice about coming across the middle. A game-changer at the position, however, takes his impact in the opposing backfield, and Randall has showcased this talent on multiple occasions. In his career, the junior has racked up 12.5 tackles-for-loss, not to mention 6.5 this season alone.

SINGLE-DIGIT SPECIALIST Over the course of the past five seasons, Temple football has worked to promote the importance of rewarding the toughest athletes in the program with one of the nine single-digit jerseys, as voted on annually by the players themselves. This past spring, Randall took over the #2 jersey, and has represented the single-digit mantra without fail since. On the year, Randall currently ranks second on the team in total tackles with 68, and surpassed his previous year’s total (65) following Week 10.

Sharif Finch | SR | Def. End QUARTERBACK INTERRUPTION The harassment statistics of Finch have been well-documented this season, as the redshirt senior surpassed his season-best in sacks midway through the schedule (previously 2.0 sacks in 2015, reached 3.0 Week 6 at ECU). As the year has progressed, though, Finch has only become more of a threat, compiling two sacks on three separate occasions for a grand total of 7.5. On the year, Finch currently ranks 23rd nationally in sacks per game as well as fourth in the American Athletic Conference.

THE POWER OF DISRUPTION The passing game isn’t the only place the redshirt senior has made an impact, as Finch has also compiled 14.5 tackles-for-loss for the season, coincidentally racking up three or more TFLs in three separate games as well (UMass, Navy & UCF). In terms of where he stands nationally, the defensive end currently ranks 21st on the leaderboards and second in the AAC, making Finch one of the most disruptive athletes in the sport.

A SPECIAL TEAMS WEAPON Since arriving on campus, Finch has sought to make an impact on the field, whether that be as a starter or another aspect of the game. Instead of ignoring the usually overlooked special teams, the redshirt senior embraced the opportunity to serve as a game-changer, crafting a specialty at punt-blocking. In his career, Finch has registered five punt blocks, and currently stands as the NCAA’s active leader in the category.

FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICAN CANDIDATES Matt Hennessy | FR | Center DOWN IN THE TRENCHES Following the past two seasons, the Temple offensive line has watched its stud athletes move onto the professional level, with notable action coming from current Buffalo Bills starter Dion Daw- kins and Steelers’ practice squad lineman Kyle Friend. As such, Hennessy had large shoes to fill as he took over the Owls’ center during the spring; fortunately for the Temple offense, the redshirt freshman has lived up to expectations, starting 10-of-11 games at the position (missed Army due to illness). On a unit that has struggled through unending turnover due to injuries, Hennessy has provided stability at the center throughout the season.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION Prior the year’s kickoff, the Rimington Award (annual honor for nation’s top center) showcased Hennessy on their annual watch list, denoting him as the only freshman nominee. The Don Bosco product has lived up the expectations, serving as the baseline for two first-time starters at quarterback and nine different starters at the various other positions along the offensive line.

HEARTBEAT OF THE OFFENSE While the offensive line is widely considered the most underval- ued unit in football, the center may actually rank as the most un- dervalued position on the field. Since taking over the position, Hennessy has helped guide an offense that averages 130.8 rushing yards per game and featured four separate game-best rushers. Further, the reshirt freshman and his unit have assisted RB David Hood in racking up two career-bests in total yards on the ground (106 at ECU, 108 at Cincinnati), not to mention the pair of starting quarterbacks generated nine 200-yard and two 300-yard passing games on the season.

Dan Archibong | FR | Def. Tackle A SUFFOCATING PRESENCE Joining the Temple defensive line bodes well for a future at the professional level, as the Owls has promoted more athletes from the unit to the NFL than any other in the program since 2002 (six draft picks, including first-rounders Haason Reddick & Muham- mad Wilkerson). As a redshirt freshman, Archibong has worked to make an impact early at defensive tackle, choking up multiple blockers from opposing offensive lines to free up tacklers at both linebacker and in the secondary. On the year, Archibong has managed to accumulate eight starts over 11 games.

BIG MAN ON CAMPUS Prior to Temple’s Week 10 home contest against conference opponent Navy, first-year head coach Geoff Collins awarded the redshirt freshman the #1 jersey for the week. Rooted in Temple’s unique single-digit tradition, Collins revamped the system with a weekly competition, awarding the #1 to a different player each game. As for Archibong, his four-tackle career performance against Army, the nation’s second-best rushing attack, deemed him more than worthy for the program honor.

THE 9 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. Three players have carried over the honor from last season. Sean Chandler, Nick Sharga, and Jacob Martin. Sharga has donned his number since 2015 and Chandler since 2014. Randall and Kirkwood earned theirs this spring. Three vacancies were filled during the summer as Sharif Finch, Ryquell Armstead and Artrel Foster rounded out The 9. Coach Geoff Collins decided this season to make the number one a jersey that is given out on a week-to-week basis. See page 22 for a list of this season’s honorees. Here is a list of Temple’s TUFF Guys:

Prior to Al Golden taking over the program in 2006, Temple football wasn’t exactly synonymous with postseason eligibility. However, under Golden and every tenured coach since then, the Owls have reached the six-win mark six times (2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015 & 2016) and attended four bowls, including one in each of the past two seasons. In games that would qualify Temple to reach bowl eligibility, the Owls have been especially dangerous, boasting four years where they clinched on their first try.

• 17 • 2017 Temple Football 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.
