Owls' pass rush plans are Hush-Hush

By Mike Gibson
You can say that the Temple pass rush plans for next season are definitely Hush-Hush.
But you'd be only half right.
If, as expected, Piscataway (N.J.) High School's Aaron Hush earns a spot in the defensive end rotation he'll be half of the collapsing pocket from one side.
Two of the keys to winning in college football, minus turnovers, are putting the other guy's quarterback on his backside and keeping your quarterback off his backside.

Coming soon ... Jason Hendricks?
"(Temple) beat Tennessee in a really good game and the atmosphere was just awesome. The fans were just really loud and crazy. ... right now I'm leaning very heavily toward committing to Temple."
_Hudson (N.J.) Catholic tailback Jason Hendricks, Dec. 16, 2008, in an interview with Scout.com

Temple has addressed its needs along the offensive line for the past two seasons and should be in good shape from a protection standpoint in 2009.
Now, with some of the final slots left in this 25-man recruiting class, the Owls are coming at the problem from the other side.
Hush, the Home News Tribune Defensive Player of the Year, is one of the solutions. Hush gave a solid verbal to the Owls today.
He's quick, he's big (6-3, 240) and he'll likely get in the face of Temple opposing quarterbacks all next year.
For sure, the Owls have some other pieces of the pass rush in place next year and Hush is just one more huge piece of the puzzle.
In fact, Hush might be the final word on what figures to be a very loud and nasty Owl defensive front.
