His 1944, 1945, Idaho 1, Navy 1. and 1946 teams were national champions. Temple was coached by Ray Morrison.

In 1987, Jim Young coached Army to an ambush of Bruce Arians’ Temple squad. The 2009 opponents in bold score was tied, 7-7, at halftime, and the Cadets opened the second half running. They finished with 75 rushes in 76 plays for the game. However, on their fourth play of the half, QB Otto Leone caught Temple over-playing the run. He faked a handoff and hit TE Mark Charette for a 64-yard touchdown pass. It would be the key play of the game as the Owls were not able to score aside from Tom Quinn’s two-yard run in the first half. Quinn rushed for 144 yards on 29 carries. The teams combined for just 12 passing attempts on the afternoon.

Beginning with the 1999 season, Army changed its nickname from the Cadets to the Black Knights.
