On the same day that Temple was named third in the MAC East in a preseason poll, new coach Steve Addazio said he hoped to build on the success of former coach Al Golden, who engineered a revival of the Owls program that paid off with back-to-back winning campaigns. "Our focus is on toughness. We want to be a very physical and tough football team, so that's a piece," he said. "Al did a great job here, but we haven't won the [MAC] East outright, we haven't won the MAC, we haven't won a bowl game. So there are some great things out there that need to be accomplished."
