The Chicago Sun-Times: Golden doom Temple coach is trying to bring respectability to Bill Cosby's school, but 0-7 Owls are still college football's joke team

They take a 19-game losing streak -- the longest in Division I-A -- to DeKalb on Saturday as homecoming prey for Northern Illinois (4-3). Temple is 0-7 under new coach Al Golden and hasn't won since November 2004. The program has won only 10 games since October 2001. In last week's Sagarin computer rankings, the Owls were 198th in the country -- meaning last in Division I-A and also behind 79 Division I-AA teams.

The Beacon News: Easy marks?

Temple, which will become a fully accredited member of the Mid-American Conference next season, enters the 2 p.m. contest (ComCast SportsNet and WSCR 670-AM) riding a 19-game losing streak. The Owls, just 3-38 since 2003, are 0-7 this season under first-year coach Al Golden and have given up 60-plus points three times and 40 or more twice.
