The Temple coaching staff has a strong relationship that goes back to Urban Meyer and the Florida Gator days. Let's see what USF will be facing in this one.
Head Coach Steve Addazio - Addazio is entering his second season at the helm after spending the last 5 years before back with the Florida Gators under Urban Myer. Last season, he helped Temple turn it around as they went to a bowl game and sent 10 players to be all MAC members. He brings a tough mindset, wanting a fast and physical defense and for the offense to attack on the ground, keeping things close and wearing down opponents. He has a solid team that will be eager to get their Big East return off to a hot start, but he will have to remained focused and not take too many shots, allowing USF to hang around in the game.
Offensive Coordinator Ryan Day – Coach Day is entering his second season with Temple after spending five years as the wide receivers coach at Boston College. Day, who was part of Addazio’s offensive staff back at UF as a graduate assistant has a strong history with Addazio and brings a tough mentality to the playcalling. Temple runs various playing styles and formations, but sets everything up through the run game and the option, taking away the responsibilities for the quarterback. Look for the Owls to run the ball most of the day and for the wide receivers, his background, to do a great job blocking on the outside. The USF defense has to be ready for their physical nature and for the play action pass that will be called in the game.

Defensive Coordinator Chuck Heater – Coach Heater is also entering his second season at Temple. Heat has over 36-years of coaching experience, from UF where he helped coach one of the most aggressive defenses to two national championships to all the way back in 1988 when Notre Dame won a national title. He has coached teams through 24 bowl games and is known for a great game planning and being a players coach (top recruiter as well). Heater runs a base 4-3 set defense, not taking a lot of chances, but instead teaching his players to swarm to the ball carrier. The front 7 typically gets the most pressure during the games and if the ball is bounced to the outside, the defense is quick to get there and stop anyone in space. Look for Heater to have his defense ready for the Bulls and try to stop the speedy skill players on our roster.
