Part 3/9:
The Temple Owls began their journey in college football as an independent in 1894. They spent time in the Mid-Atlantic Conference and returned to independence until 1991, when they joined the now-defunct Big East Conference, which had begun to make strides in football. From 1991 to 2004, Temple experienced a disastrous run, finishing with an overall record of 30 wins and 127 losses, culminating in being voted out of the Big East in 2005.
