It’s Temple vs. Temple in this 3 vs. 6 matchup in The Vicksburg Post’s Greatest on the Gridiron tournament’s Flashes Region.

Coached by Hylon Adams, the 1964 Buccaneers helped start the school’s dynasty but came up just short in their quest for a championship. They finished 11-1 after losing to Hattiesburg Rowan on a last-minute touchdown in the Negro Big 8 championship game.

Two years later, with future Jackson State coaching legend W.C. Gorden calling the shots and a new cast of players that included quarterback William Triplett, Temple went a perfect 11-0 for its first undefeated season. Triplett had more than 20 career touchdowns passes.
