While Temple has faced a lot of dual-threat QBs this season, Rogers might be the most complete package they'll face to date.
Temple quarterback E.J. Warner, left, and the Owls will look to break a three-game losing skid against North Texas on Saturday.After a 2-2 start to the season in non-conference play, Temple has begun conference play on a two-game losing streak in which they have given up at least 40 points in both matchups.
“North Texas is going to bring great team speed,” Drayton said. “They’ve got two really quick and fast receivers that are real threats. They have a running back that I think is really, really good. It’s very tough to get behind them in that system.”North Texas played its first American Athletic Conference matchup of the season when they lost to Navy by three last week. The Mean Green began the year losing their first two games against Cal and Florida International University.
In addition to a lackluster running game, ball control has been a problem as well. Joquez Smith fumbled last week against Texas-San Antonio and Darvon Hubbard fumbled two weeks ago in Tulsa. While Temple needs the run game to be a factor — they must also protect the ball. Temple’s defense has also shown problems in getting stops but it certainly doesn’t help when offensive miscues have given opposing teams shorter field to work with.
One of Temple’s major issues on defense this season has been getting pressure on the quarterback. This has been partly due to losing both Demerick Morris and Miami transfer Allan Haye with season-ending injuries. But, if the Owls want to bounce back after giving up 138 points over the previous three games, they at least need to contain Rogers in the pocket.
