2011 Season Preview Philly Proud. Season Preview Joseph V. Labolito 2011 Season Outlook Temple Owls Take the Field Under New Leadership in 2011 The winds of change are blowing through EdbergOlson Hall this season. After posting back-to-back winning seasons in 2009 and 2010 for the first time since 1978, the Temple Owls have a new leader. On December 23, 2010, Steve Addazio became the Owls’ 25th head coach. The 2011 squad returns 19 starters to 13 positions. Following their 8-4 record and a 53 finish in the Mid-American Conference East Division, the Owls are anxious to pick up where they left off last fall and take care of unfinished business. Taking the field this fall are 87 returning student-athletes, including 46 letterwinners and 13 starters. Joining the Owls are nine members of the Local 215 (walk-on) program and two mid-year transfers. Mike Gerardi 40 In February, Temple signed 20 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. Geographically, 18 signees came hometown in Pennsylvania and six hail from New Jersey. Five signees hail from Southeastern Pennsylvania, including four from the Philadelphia metro area. Eleven of the 18 high school signees attended the Temple Football Camp (61%). Two of the signees— Malcolm Eugene and Hershey Walton— enrolled at Temple in January and participated in spring drills.

Seven student-athletes list their The Temple offense returns 12 players to eight starting positions among the 27 lettermen. Under the direction of first-year offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler, assisted by Matt Rhule, TU will utilize a multiple offensive system designed to create a balanced running game and passing game. Directing the offense are two experienced quarterbacks-- junior Mike Gerardi and senior Chester Stewart. A walk-on turned starter in 2010, Gerardi finished the season 93-of-156 for 1,290 yards and 10 touchdowns in five starts. He is a tough, unselfish leader who has earned the confidence of his teammates. As junior, Stewart started the first seven games under center last fall. He went 72-of-135 for 842 yards and four touchdowns. 2011 Temple Football Media Guide Temple UFF. Season Preview pete with fellow senior Jeremy Schonbrunner.

There are big shoes to fill on the right side, replacing two-time first-team All-MAC selections Colin Madison and Darius Morris. Expect senior Wayne Tribue and junior Sean Boyle to compete for starting roles at guard. Tribue saw action at Bernard Pierce 2011 Temple Football Media Guide Derek Dennis center last fall, while Boyle missed the 2010 season with an injury. At tackle, junior Martin Wallace is expected to take over fulltime starting duties. He played in all 12 games with two starts at left tackle. Redshirt freshman Joe Cenatiempo will provide relief. Sophomore Scott Roorda, freshman Hershey Walton, and junior Stephen Yuan will provide serious competition at all spots. Others competing for time are redshirt freshmen Elijah Grant, Jake Lane, and Adam Metz. Freshmen Zach Hooks, Eric Lofton, Jacob Quinn, and Will Rathbone will provide depth. In his first season with the tight ends, coach Matt Rhule has a veteran list of candidates. Seniors Evan Rodriguez and Matt Balasavage are expected to receive tough competition for their starting roles. A firstteam All-MAC honoree, Rodriguez started nine games last fall, finishing as the top TE in receiving and third overall with 247 yards and two touchdowns on 21 receptions. A three-year starter, Balasavage played in 10 games with four starts last fall. Also competing for time will sophomores Cody Booth, Matt Brookhart, Alex Jackson, and Chris Parthemore.

Granger, a junior college transfer, was an All-Pacific Conference selection at Pierce College last season. He could compete for the starting nod. In his first season with the offensive line, coach Justin Frye will guide an experienced troop. The o-line returns 13 players, including six starters. On the left side, senior Derek Dennis will compete to regain his starting position at guard. Last fall, he took Rod Streater 41 Philly Proud. lection, Brown led the Owls with 830 yards and seven touchdowns on 162 carries a year ago in seven starts. A first-team All-MAC honoree, Pierce followed with 728 yards and a team-best 10 touchdowns on 154 carries. Adding depth to the running game are junior Ahkeem Smith, who played in 11 games last fall, redshirt freshman Myron Myles, and freshman Spencer Reid. First-year coach Zach Smith has a plethora of talent in his receiving arsenal. Senior Rod Streater is expected to return to his starting role. In his first season for the Cherry and White, Streater was named the team’s 2010 Newcomer of the Year after finishing second in receiving with 481 yards and four touchdowns on 30 receptions. Several Owls will be lining up to replace starter and All-MAC pick Michael Campbell. Senior Joe Jones, who played sparingly last fall with a nagging injury, looks to regain his starting role from 2009. Sophomores Ryan Alderman, Tomas Cabrera, and Deon Miller, and junior C.J. Hammond will vie for playing time. Junior Darryl Shine, sophomore Michael Doty, and redshirt freshman Brett Pierce, as well as newcomers Robbie Anderson, J o h n Christop h e r, Daquan Cooper, Tyron Harris, and Eugene 42 Malcolm, round out the list of receivers.

As a junior last fall, the 2009 MAC Defensive Player of the Year started all 12 games at right end, one of just seven Owls to start every game. He had 38 tackles, 4.5 TFL, and 3.5 sacks. Junior Marcus Green will compete for playing time. First-year line coach Sean Cronin has three players with experience to cover the left side. After playing tight end in 2010, senior Morkeith Brown moved back to defensive end during spring drills. Brown played in all 12 games with nine starts. Senior Morris Blueford is expected to challenge for starting time, too. At tackle, Cronin will look for strength to fill the spots vacated by first-team All-MAC honorees Eli Joseph and Muhammad Wilkerson.
