Owls Generating Good Returns
Owls are leading the nation in kickoff return yardage ... again!
Perhaps it is surprising to some to find the Temple Owls leading NCAA Division I-A in average yards per kickoff return. But it shouldn't be.
It was only three season ago that the Owls finished the season atop I-A in that category. If they can hold on, they would be just the fourth team to lead in that category twice in a four-season span (Wyoming, 1948-50; Texas A&M, 1993-94; TCU 1999-2000).
Junior Matt Brown (show above in action against Villanova earlier this season), is averaging 28.1 yards per kickoff return. (He is also averaging 10.6 yards a punt return and has helped the Owls to a No. 22 ranking in that categoty.)
