Instagram Things to Look for in Week 10...
1
The Service Academy Circuit
Temple faces both Army and Navy in the same season for the third straight year and eighth time overall. The Owls previously played both in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2016, 2017, 2024 and 2025. Temple swept the service academies in 2009, including a 27-24 win at Navy behind Bernard Pierce's 267 rushing yards and two touchdowns. After falling to Army earlier this year, Temple looks to split the two matchups for the first time since 2017.

Eight Is Great
Temple has rushed for at least 100 yards in each of its first eight games this season, totaling 1,536 yards and averaging 192.0 per contest. The Owls have four games with 200-plus rushing yards, including a season-high 261 at Toledo. A ninth consecutive 100-yard performance would mark Temple's first nine-game season-opening streak since at least 2005.

The Keeler Fleet
Head coach K.C. Keeler has a long history against Navy, going 2-3 against the Midshipmen while at Delaware, including a 21-17 win in Annapolis during the Blue Hens' 2003 national championship season. Temple lost to Navy, 32-31, in 2025 after a late Midshipmen touchdown and two-point conversion. Keeler seeks his third career win against Navy on Saturday.

Three for Three, for Three
Carl Hardin made a career-high three field goals in Temple's 17-9 loss at ECU, connecting from 41, 46 and 41 yards. It was his first collegiate game with three made field goals, all from 40-plus yards. Maddux Trujillo also made three field goals of at least 40 yards against Florida Atlantic in 2024.

Defensive Fortitude
Temple held East Carolina to 17 points in its first game under interim defensive coordinator Henry Baker, the fewest allowed by the Owls since their 17-13 win at South Florida.
