College football
GREENVILLE, N.C. — No. 22 Temple doesn’t have much time to savor its first national ranking in 35 years.
The Owls (6-0, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) play their first game as a ranked team since 1979 on Thursday night when they visit East Carolina (4-3, 2-1).
In a half-season already full of milestones, Temple is chasing one more — the first 7-0 start in the history of the once-woebegone program.
“I’m really pleased with our progress, pleased to be where we are and we know it’s going to be an unbelievable battle in a really hostile environment,” coach Matt Rhule said.
The Owls are acting like they’ve been here before — even though they haven’t, not since the ‘79 team cracked the Top 25 on its way to the Garden State Bowl.
A year ago, East Carolina surged into the polls after a pair of impressive nonconference wins — only to fall out, never to reappear, after losing a road game in league play.
That opponent? Temple.
Yet Pirates coach Ruffin McNeill is downplaying the revenge angle.
“It wasn’t because of luck that Temple won last year,” he said.
