Duke’s Week 1 opponent, Temple, named a starting quarterback on Thursday afternoon.
The Owls will be led by D’Wan Mathis, who played in 7 games for them last season.
Here’s the announcement:
Last season, Mathis completed 59.5% of his passes for 1,223 yards, 6 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He also rushed for 82 yards and 1 touchdown.
Mathis is a former Georgia transfer who played for the Bulldogs in 2020. He transferred to Temple prior to the start of the 2021 season.
Duke and Temple last played in 2018. The B
lue Devils won 56-27 in Shreveport in the Independence Bowl. Daniel Jones threw for 5 touchdowns in the win.
