Temple s momentum is being felt around the city, as demontrated by a Sunday front page story in The Philadelphia Inquirer. No question, this is Temple s moment, the Inquirer reports. But by no means are the gains just about football.
The story references the university s record 30,000-plus applicants this year, six-spot jump in U.S. News and World Report rankings and an unprecedented $84.2 million in fundraising.
The university's red-hot energy has attracted ESPN's 'College GameDay' to Philadelphia. The popular college football pregame show will visit the City of Brotherly Love as No. 21/22-ranked Temple gets ready to host No. 9/9-ranked Notre Dame on Halloween night at a sold-out Lincoln Financial Field (kickoff at 8 p.m. on ABC). College GameDay will originate from Philadelphia s iconic Independence Mall that morning.
More details will be shared on owlsports.com as soon as they are available.
