Bleav in Temple

First-year Temple head coach Stan Drayton talked during spring ball about adding depth at quarterback, and the Owls did just that with the addition of former Virginia Tech and North Dakota State QB Quincy Patterson. Adam DiMichele scouted Patterson previously when he entered the transfer portal coming out of Virginia Tech and talked about what Patterson's addition could mean to the Owls, returning starter D'Wan Mathis and Temple's quarterback room.

And in this episode's mailbag, Adam talked about some of his favorite Temple teammates from his playing days, how his DiMichele Brothers Performance training program is coming along, and what he misses most about coaching at Temple.

He shared memories about his time as a player and as a coach, including the 2015 season that saw Temple beat Penn State and nearly knock off Notre Dame.
