BREAKING: We Predict Growing Pains in Keeler’s Inaugural Season!!

Under new head coach K.C. Keeler, the Temple Owls aim to improve on their 3-9 record from 2024. Below is our game-by-game prediction for the 2025 season, based on team performance, roster changes, and opponent strength.

Game-by-Game Predictions
1Aug XX at UMass: Win (27-20)
UMass (3-9 in 2024) is a winnable road game. Temple’s passing attack, led by QB Evan Simon, and strong secondary exploit UMass’s weak defense.
Key: Limit UMass’s run game (159.8 ypg in 2024).
2Sep X vs. Howard: Win (35-10)
FCS Howard is outmatched. Temple’s depth and home-field advantage at Lincoln Financial Field ensure a blowout.
Key: Avoid turnovers (-20 margin in 2024).
3Sep XX vs. Oklahoma: Loss (42-13)
SEC powerhouse Oklahoma (bowl-eligible 2024) overwhelms Temple, as in their 51-3 rout last year.
Key: Secondary must limit big plays.
4Sep XX at Georgia Tech: Loss (31-17)
Georgia Tech’s strong rushing attack exploits Temple’s weak run defense (208.8 ypg allowed in 2024).
Key: Linebackers like Jalen Stewart must step up.
5Oct X vs. UTSA: Loss (34-20)
UTSA’s dynamic offense outpaces Temple’s defense (35.9 ppg allowed in 2024).
Key: Passing game must avoid UTSA’s secondary.
6Oct XX vs. Navy: Loss (28-21)
Navy’s triple-option challenges Temple’s run defense. A close game, but Navy’s time-of-possession wins.
Key: Disrupt Navy’s rhythm with pass rush.
7Oct XX at Charlotte: Win (24-21)
A winnable AAC road game. Temple’s improved depth and third-down defense edge out Charlotte.
Key: Force turnovers (only X in 2024).
8Oct XX at Tulsa: Loss (30-23)
Tulsa’s secondary and home advantage outmatch Temple’s inconsistent road offense.
Key: Contain Tulsa’s run game.
9Nov X vs. ECU: Win (28-24)
Temple’s home crowd and secondary handle ECU’s passing attack in a close win.
Key: Sustain drives, avoid turnovers.
10Nov XX at Army: Loss (35-17)
Army’s triple-option and home-field advantage overpower Temple’s run defense.
Key: Control the clock to limit Army’s possessions.
11Nov XX vs. Tulane: Loss (38-20)
Tulane’s potent offense exploits Temple’s defensive weaknesses.
Key: Passing game must target Tulane’s secondary.
12Nov 28/29 at North Texas: Loss (31-24)
North Texas’s dynamic offense and home advantage outlast Temple in a late-season road game.
Key: Limit North Texas’s passing attack.

Season Overview
•Predicted Record: 4-8 (2-6 AAC)
•Analysis: Keeler’s coaching and new transfers (Evan Simon, Jay Ducker) improve Temple, but a tough schedule (eight bowl-eligible opponents) limits wins. Key to success: fixing run defense (120th in FBS) and turnovers (-20 margin).
