As anticipated, the Temple-Villanova football game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sept. 3 will kick off at 7 p.m. It's their first meeting since the Wildcats beat the Owls in the first college game at the Linc on Sept. 6, 2003, in double-overtime. The Phillies are hosting the Giants that night at Citizens Bank Park.
Four of the Owls' other five home games will start at either noon or 1 on Saturdays: Buffalo on Sept. 26; Ball State on Oct. 10; Army (ESPN) on Oct. 17; and Kent State on Nov. 21. The game against Miami (Ohio) is another Thursday-nighter, beginning at 7:30.
The road schedule starts at Penn State on Sept. 19 at noon. The Owls also play at Eastern Michigan on Oct. 3 at 1; at Toledo on Oct. 24 at 7; at Navy on Oct. 31 at 3:30; at Akron on Friday, Nov. 13, at 8; and at Ohio on Friday, Nov. 27, at 2.
The Mid-American Conference championship is Friday, Dec. 4, in Detroit (ESPN2) at 8.
The Owls have received their sixth verbal commitment for the 2010 recruiting class. Anthony Robey, a 5-11, 175-pound cornerback from Norristown High who has been timed at 4.3 seconds over 40 yards, had also generated interest from Pitt and Maryland. He attended the June 20 Al Golden football camp. *
