Thanks for the link to the Cosby comedy skit regarding his experience playing football for Temple. Back in the time frame that Cosby played there (1950s), Temple played on a small college level, as did their tormentor Hofstra. Doubt if there was ever any TV coverage back then, in contrast to Cosby's jokes.

Temple upgraded its football program to Division IA (now Div. I (BCS)) maybe twenty years ago (just a guess), long after Cosby left. Obviously, they're better now in absolute terms than they were back then, but I don't ever recall them winning a conference championship nor going to anything more than a very occasional minor bowl game.
