Temple turns back Miami in MAC opener
By Pete Conrad
Despite a brief surge on offense following the second-half switch in quarterbacks from Daniel Raudabaugh to Clay Belton, the RedHawks lost to the Temple Owls 28-10 Saturday, OCt. 4 at Yager Stadium in their Mid-American Conference opener.
Belton, a red-shirt freshman, replaced Raudabaugh to start the second half and the first two Miami possessions with Belton behind center did result in 10 points, which shaved Temple’s lead to four points, 14-10.
But then Miami’s defense couldn’t hold. The Owls struck back on a pair of touchdown passes from Chester Stewart (who had not thrown a touchdown pass in five games) to wide receiver Bruce Francis.

Temple is pretty good. The Owls should really be 5-1. They got screwed by Big east refs on an OT non-hold in the UConn game that would have given them the winning score; they got beat on a Hail Mary at a decent Buffalo team, a freak play; they had a “sideline interference” call cost them the 7-3 loss to a good Western Michigan team; later, the MAC apologized to Temple for calling it. Al Golden is a great recruiter and a decent coach and Temple has the whole east coast to recruit from. You can see it in their “high-caliber” players, as WMU lineman Phil Swanson called them.
