Temple’s efficient, dual-threat QB who delivered when called upon
In the 2010 season, Mike Gerardi showed he could stabilize Temple’s offense with efficient passing and sneaky mobility, completing 32 of 63 passes for 442 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions while adding 8 rushes for -37 yards. He also had a signature outing in 2011 with 235 passing yards and 2 touchdowns in three quarters, and Temple named him MAC Offensive Player of the Week in 2010. The big takeaway: he’s a steady, situational quarterback rather than a high-volume star—useful if you want a composed, experienced player who can step in and execute without getting rattled.
