Years ago at the Conn Mutual Classic in basketball we saw a team come in from our region that wasn't more talented but had great leadership, played harder and imposed their will on the Huskies resulting in anyone who was there thinking man I wish that guy was our head coach. Boy I hope we don't see a replay of that this Saturday as I don't see how we would get Addazio to leave where he is. It just was bad timing when Edsall left.
Watching the S Florida game Temple comes in playing with confidence and a refusal to lose. So the #1 thing we will need to win is attitude. If we don't have it this week then it's over, period.
Temple has 2 good RB's the BC transfer and #5 , a smaller tough player that reminded me of Caulley. They also have a QB who can run or throw which puts added pressure on our Defense. Last week our defense did so much right that it that it was impossible not to be proud of them. There were some missed plays that stood out however. On the only Rutgers TD drive Gratz dropped a sure pick and Willman missed a chance to tackle Jamison for a loss (head on the wrong side, a half step slow) on his 28 yard run. Blidi needs to tackle better and he admited that. We can't miss interception chances this week. Players need to play and tackle like the season is on the line because it is. If we give up more than 20 points it will be hard to win. A running QB will make this more difficult for the D than facing a pocket guy like Nova.
On offense we need to take advantage of Davis and in so doing open up the tight end and other wideouts. There should be throws for short gains(7-15 yds) that take advantage of his height and strength. The picks have to stop. Can we execute a screen pass? That remains to be seen. The O-line has to run downhill. If we are getting knocked into the backfield nothing will work. It's on them. Who we are on offense has to reveal itself this week. If it's still a hodge podge of formations, plays and personel we will be in for a long day. We need some hungry Huskies Saturday more than anything and the crowd will be right behind them.
