Sharif attends the Owls' games, when possible, and even winds up with pretty good seats. He has gotten to make pit-stop visits with Kadeem in the locker room and, overall, he likes everything he sees and hears about the program.
"If Temple said they want me, I'd definitely say yes," Sharif said. "My brother likes it a lot. I definitely want to be a part of that.
"My coaches are getting together a highlight tape, and they're going to send it to Temple."
Here's guessing Saturday's game will be on it.
Note to any/all possible viewers: Get a gander of the play that occurred 4 minutes prior to halftime, expanding N-G's lead to 8-0.
The line of scrimmage was McDevitt's 27. Custis not only blocked Sean Bryson's punt, he recovered the ball in the end zone. After a bit of a scramble.
"As we were setting up," Custis said, "I noticed their spacing was a little off. Their end guy was too far over. I faked like I was going to the outside, then cut to the inside. I wasn't surprised I got it. I could tell going in. Just had to make sure I put my hand in the right spot.
"When the ball was rolling, Eric Holt picked it up but couldn't get full control. Then, there it was in the end zone. I just ran over and dived on it. That was fun."
About 2 1/2 minutes earlier, a poor snap had resulted in a safety.
"I almost got that one, too," Custis said, "but the ball kept on rolling."
Early in the fourth quarter, on a play beginning at McDevitt's 7, the ball again had a mind of its own and Christian DiFrancisco recovered for another defensive score.
Custis, who said he appreciates playing outside linebacker because it offers more variety, finished with seven tackles and two went for losses; one was an 18-yarder. Oh, he also shivered 749 times.
