Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Temple Owls

Game Notes

- Chester Stewart struggled with his passing for the 2nd week straight, this week it had more of an impact though as he threw 4 interceptions during the game. If Stewart can't get it together we may see Connor Reilly taking more snaps.

-Temple's secondary has problems all game long. CMU was able to break lots of big plays by breaking through the secondary both on the ground and through the air.

- Temple was able to move the ball down the field on most drives, turnovers really hurt them though as Stewart through 4 interceptions. Temple was only able to get the ball in the red zone twice, one of which resulted in an interception.

-Bernard Pierce had a strong game on the ground going for 147 Yds, it wasnt enough to stop the pounding the Owls received though.

Photo Highlights


J. Sawicki beats the Temple secondary for a 89 Yd TD reception.


Chester Stewart is wrapped up in the backfield by Central Michigan for a sack.

Connecticut Huskies vs. Temple Owls

Game Notes

- This game was played in a downpour in Philly. The weather contributed to a lot of fumbles and made it and interesting game to watch.

- Chester Stewart's stats may not look much better on paper this week, but he had a decent game. His receivers had about 7 dropped passes that should have been caught.

- UConn managed to return 3 fumbles for touchdowns which helped them power their way to victory. Temple also returned 1 fumble for a touchdown in this game of fumbles.

- Junior UConn free safety Harris Agbor was injured early in the game and is expected to miss the next 6 weeks with a torn pectoral.

- Once again Bernard Peirce had a strong game on the ground and picked up 162 Yds. If Temple is going to turn things around this season it is going to start with this kid.

- James Nixon struggled to hold on to the ball this week and had 4 dropped passes. He has been Stewarts go to man the first two games of the season. Hopefully it was just the weather.
