It was cool to see Ryquell Armstead singing the praises of Nick Sharga after his 210 yards on the ground last night against USF.

"Nick Sharga is amazing," Armstead said. "By the end of the third quarter he had USF players falling to their knees out of fear of making contact with him."

For all of Temple sophomore Ryquell Armstead's breakaways (he ran for 210 yards) and Jefferson High alumnus Ventell Bryant's clutch receptions (five catches, 115 yards), the unsung hero for the Owls may have been 240-pound fullback Nick Sharga.
A two-way player in 2015 (fullback and linebacker), Sharga served as a lead blocker throughout the night, and his efforts didn't go unnoticed.

He was definitely a difference maker last night.

Pancake blocks, impressive!

Sat next to Sharga's dad last year. Nick comes from good people. He also ran for two short yardage 1st downs.

He actually ran 3 times, I believe all were for first downs.

Don't forget the other two-way player Deloatch. Both he and Sharga would've made great full-time linebackers.

Sharga was a PennDOT road grader last night.

He's also playing with a partially torn ACL.

To me that is the impressive part of what he did on Friday.

USF owned you guys last year and you guys returned the favor. No excuses.

It's what happens in conference play.

Congrats!

Cheers
