Notre Dame at Temple, a game to be played in Philadelphia of all the perfect places, offers a “Tale of the tape” almost more ridiculous than the one fed to us in “Rocky.”

A decade ago, Temple was so bad it was kicked out of the Big East.

Temple, after years of foundering, has finally found its place.

Rhule, a former Temple assistant, was named head coach in December of 2012 after Steve Addazio left to coach Boston College.

Rhule is thrilled Temple has earned enough respect to warrant a prime-time game – 5 p.m. PDT – against the most hallowed program in the sport.

Saturday night, the nation might be singing a different Temple tune: “Fight, fight for the Cherry and the White.”
