Buried on depth chart Duncan will open the season in a deep reserve role for Temple after losing the battle for the backup quarterback job to true freshman Justin Lynch, 247Sports.com reports. Impact Duncan was handed an indefinite suspension in late November for an unspecified violation of team rules, but he's apparently in good standing with the program entering the 2021 season. Even so, Duncan -- who attempted two passes as a true freshman -- faces an uphill battle to receive playing time, given that he's behind at least starter D'Wan Mathis and Lynch on the depth chart. The Owls haven't indicated who among Duncan, Re'al Mitchell or Mariano Valenti will open the season as the team's third quarterback.
