Temple Football Practice Highlights
PHILADELPHIA – Temple's defensive coordinator, Brian L. Smith, emphasizes a balanced approach during practice, appreciating offensive highlights without losing sight of defensive progress. On Wednesday at Chodoff Field, offensive players like Colin Chase and JoJo Bermudez showcased impressive catches, with the offense tallying two touchdowns led by Evan Simon and Gevani McCoy during the final 11-on-11 session.
Defensive Responses and Ongoing Competition
Despite offensive successes, the defense responded with key stops, including a Louis Frye interception of a challenging Simon pass and a stop on a McCoy drive, complemented by Ben Osueke’s interception. This ongoing contest between offensive and defensive units has persisted since spring, vital for breaking Temple's recent 3-9 season streak.
