On defense, Temple will use an eight-man front to utilize the team's quickness. One potential weakness is the lack of depth on the offensive line and defensive backfield. Wallace also is concerned about the inexperience of the kicking game. While almost all of the pieces of the puzzle seem to be coming together, the team still needs to improve its attendance, conceded Wallace. When we get the team to where it should be, that reflects the tradition of Temple, we'll be able to maintain the crowds with our play.
Football is an emotional game.
Wallace, who won three Division-II national championships in 10 years at North Alabama, knows that the team won't improve instantly, but he has seen encouraging signs. I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to be than at Temple right now. I can't wait to get it done here.
