Philadelphia, PA (The Phanatic) - Temple coach Al Golden went with red-shirt junior Adam DiMichele as his starting quarterback for the Owls' 2007 season opener against Navy in front of 30,368 at Lincoln Financial Field Friday.

"It is so close. It is a hard call and something I have struggled with for a long time," Golden said before the game.
