-----------------------------------
Besides Forrest Brock, everyone at Temple must be absolutely disgusted by the team's performance today. Evan Simon had a poor game today, struggling to complete any passes while being sacked six times through three quarters before being benched. Redshirt freshman Tyler Douglas got a couple drives to showcase his talents, but it was quickly abrupted by a pick six from middle linebacker Brett Gerena early in the fourth.
It was a defensive battle for most of the game until Army finally opened the flood gates in the fourth quarter with a touchdown from slot back Tyrell Robinson. Following that possession, the pick six happened and Army mostly had control of the ball for the rest of the game.
"We need to fix this ASAP," Temple coach Anderius Hawkins told the media regarding his team's performance. "We made several adjustments to the offense, and it didn't pan out especially on the offensive line. Giving up six sacks is unacceptable. We'll continue experimenting during practice this upcoming week."
Offensive lineman Kevin Terry better find somewhere safe to sleep tonight. He was credited with giving up three of Temple's six sacks today and has mostly likely won a one way ticket to China.
