Oklahoma's offense vs. Temple's defense - 'Should' be off to a good start
The Temple Owls head into the 2024 season with significant challenges on the defensive side of the ball, primarily due to the departure of key playmakers. One of the biggest losses is linebacker Jordan Magee, who has moved on to the professional ranks. Magee was a standout for the Owls in 2023, leading the team with 80 tackles and 14 tackles for loss.

Seeing a show and getting coffee during a band’s set couldn’t be better, and that is exactly what happened in McAlester, OK during Dave Hause’s set on Saturday.
