Temple football coach Stan Drayton spoke with the media on Monday.

Drayton talked about Saturday’s game at ECU and the coaching change.

“I don’t know how East Carolina is going to respond, but they have to move on. And I’m sure that’s what the coaches are telling the players. And if there’s leadership in that program, the players are going to tell that to each other. I’m sure they’ll rally the troops and give us hell on Saturday,” Drayton said.
