Things are going pretty swell for Matt Rhule’s Temple Owls. They’re 6-0 for the first time since 1974, ranked in both the AP and Coaches Top-25 polls, and stand only a win over 4-3 East Carolina away from playing the most important game in school history.
The suits over at ABC are banking on a Temple victory over ECU this Thursday, because they are slotting Temple in primetime against Notre Dame on Halloween at The Linc:

That means ABC’s top broadcast team of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Heather Cox will call the game. EDIT: Oops, jumped the gun on that one.
We have been told that ABC hasn't chosen its announcers yet for the Temple-Notre Dame game which is 8 p.m. on Oct. 31

The only question that remains is if College Gameday will also come to Philly on October 31st. Dare to dream, Owls fans.
