[14] Mathis finished the season with six touchdowns, 1,223 yards, and 116 completions. [15] During the season it was rumored that Mathis had left the Owl's program, but he later publicly announced he would be staying with the team. [16] [17]
The following season, Mathis was once again named the starting quarterback. [18] [19] [20] With Mathis at the helm, Temple was shutout in a 30–0 loss to Duke, in which he contributed 83 yards on 11 completions. [21] The following week, Mathis was benched in favor of true freshman E.J. Warner. [22] Subsequently, Mathis began taking practice reps at wide receiver, before switching positions. [23]
