So, it turns out the football team actually got something out its loss to Penn State Saturday.

Temple lost, 31-0, to the No. 25 Nittany Lions at Lincoln Financial Field, failing to put points on the scoreboard despite four trips to the red zone.

Still, three recruits saw enough from coach Al Golden, quarterback Vaughn Charlton and 69,029 fans to verbally commit to the Owls, the Philadelphia Daily News reported.

Quinton White, Josh Richmond and Marcus Cooper became the latest recruits to say they’ll join the Owls next season. That gives Golden 19 total comitments, thus far.

White, a 6-foot-1, 215 pound linebacker, plays at Cardinal Dougherty, in Philadelphia.

Richmond, a 6-1, 200 pound defensive back, currently plays for Milford Prep, in New Berlin, NY. According to Owlscoop.com, Richmond will enroll at Temple for the spring semester.

Cooper, a 6-1, 185 pound wide receiver, has caught 15 touchdowns for Bloomfield High, in Connecticut.

Per NCAA rules, Golden cannot comment on recruits until they sign a letter of intent on national signing day, held each February.
