The defense was credited with 13 sacks in Saturday's Cherry and White, with Diwun Black getting six of them, and head coach Stan Drayton said he's not ready to say that any of his quarterbacks are ready for the season opener at Oklahoma. 

What does that mean for what looks like a wide-open quarterback battle between Forrest Brock, Evan Simon, Tyler Douglas, Patrick Keller and anyone else the staff might add via the portal? What can fans feel good about after spring ball? 

We'll give you a detailed breakdown of Temple's quarterback battle, some reasons why Owls fans can feel good about the direction of the team, and some men's and women's basketball recruiting updates on this week's podcast, along with answers to your mailbag questions.

With Hysier Miller and Jahlil White entering the NCAA’s transfer portal over the past two days, Temple’s roster will look much different next season.

Where do the Owls turn from here to restock their roster? Where is Temple’s football roster starting to improve this spring?

We take a closer look at all of that and more on this week’s podcast, which includes some audio from Temple offensive line coach Chris Wiesehan and redshirt freshman Kevin Terry, who’s been seeing some first-team reps at left tackle this spring.

It’s been an eventful two weeks since we last recorded.

Adam Fisher’s Temple men’s basketball team nearly pulled off what would have been an improbable to the NCAA Tournament, Diane Richardson’s women’s team fell short of its goal of a conference title, and just about every position battle is up for grabs as Temple gets started with its padded spring football practices.

With top-five marks among all linebackers in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump at last week's NFL Scouting Combine, former Temple linebacker Jordan Magee helped his draft stock as next month's NFL Draft approaches, and he joined us on The Scoop this week to talk about his success out in Indianapolis.

Magee is back in Philadelphia and told OwlScoop.com he plans to be around his former team for its first spring practice next week, and we talked about some of the names to watch as third-year head coach Stan Drayton and his staff look to build a team that can blend in more than 40 new players. 

And as their respective American Athletic Conference tournaments approach later this month, we talked about why Diane Richardson's women's team could win the league title and advance to the NCAA Tournament and why some old familiar traits continue to hurt Adam Fisher's men's team. 

That, answers to your mailbag questions and more await on this week's OwlScoop.com podcast. 

Temple guard Shane Dezonie, who hit a three-pointer late in regulation and then scored on a putback to help the Owls grab an overtime win at Wichita State Sunday, joined us on The Scoop this week from the road to talk about his career and his growth this season as his team prepares to take on Rice Wednesday night.

And we’ll get you ready for the Temple women’s team’s big Wednesday night home game against Tulsa as the first-place Owls look to move one game closer to what would be their first regular-season American Athletic Conference championship.
