The Temple Owls (4-4, 1-3) enjoyed a bye this past week and face the

Eagles of Boston College (4-3, 1-3) on Saturday, November 4 in Chestnut

Hill, Mass. The Owls are coming off a tough loss to No. 4/5 ranked

Hurricanes of Miami, 45-17.

including yards of total offense, 357. The Owls also caused four

turnovers including an interception by Terrance Leftwich of Ken Dorsey.

season finale of 1999. Leading the way for the Owls defense were Jamal

Wallace and LeVar Talley; both recorded 10 tackles.

almost 14 more minutes than Miami. Tanardo Sharps was held to 37 yards

rushing but did contribute with 103 kickoff return yards. The Owls were

plagued by penalties, 13 for 72 yards. Quarterback Devin Scott threw for

129 yards but was sacked six times.
