S12, E8: Temple’s Toledo collapse sets up must-win Army game

There have been 14 one-point losses in Temple’s history. K.C. Keeler has three of them in his first 15 games as the program’s head coach.

Last Saturday’s setback, a shocking 49-48 overtime loss at Toledo in which the Owls blew a 14-point lead in the last two minutes of regulation, has Temple in a must-win situation this Friday when Army comes to Lincoln Financial Field for a nationally-televised 4 p.m. game on ESPN.

Why, exactly, is Temple playing a 4 p.m. game this Friday, and what does AC/DC have to do with it? Can the Owls slow down an Army team that ran them into the ground last season? Does defensive coordinator Brian L. Smith’s group have it in them to shake off a forgettable game at Toledo?

We answered all those questions on this week’s podcast.
