Today, we discuss the college football history of the Temple Owls. In the 20th century, this program had its share near greatness. One coach who transformed the program from losing seasons to winning seasons, one legendary coach, one coach who ended a long bowl drought, one coach who in consecutive seasons propelled the program into the Top 20 in the final AP Poll, one goal line stand to secure one of the greatest upsets in college football history, one offensive explosion, one Instant Classic, six stellar teams, one team that ended a long bowl drought, one record setting Hall of Fame running back, one rival from yesteryear, one confusing 4-game stretch and of course, one green horned owl.
