April 3, 2008

PHILADELPHIA - The Temple football team took the field on a cool, overcast, and windy day on Thursday at Edberg-Olson Hall during its eighth spring practice session. The session marked the halfway point of the spring season.

Following each day of spring practice, the coaching staff awards a "Player of the Day" for the offense, defense, and special teams. Today's honorees were RB/WR Jason Harper (offense), CB Daryl Robinson (defense), and LB Stephen Johnson (special teams).

Temple's next practice is Saturday, April 5. . The TU coaching staff will hold its second session of the 2008 Spring Development Series. The clinic sessions are FREE to all coaches.
