The View From Section 241 -- Temple

[warbler1055]

It hurts too much with the Temple loss, so I am giving up the search for any rationale. Temple lost to USF just a couple of weeks ago, so I am not buying that Temple is best this, best that. UConn just played a lousy game. I am now looking for a fantasy, win the bowl game!!!!

It is extremely unlikely that we will play against a defense with a third of the quality of the Temple defense.

They had given up 44 and 40 points in two of the previous three games.

Their "D" is very experienced and has played well but they are not the 85 Bears.

They are not the 85 Bears. But my point is still accurrate -- we are not likely to face a bowl opponent with a defense anywhere near as good as theirs.

Temple's front seven is one of the best in the country but their secondary is so so. South Florida's quarterback had a great game against them. Temple could not pack in their front 7 like they did against Uconn because of the speed of Mack ( their running back),a much better offensive line than Uconn's, and the ability of South Florida 's quarterback to throw on the run. I think we will all learn more about both Temple and Houston this weekend. Our defensive line had their way with Houston's offensive line two weeks ago. Will Temple be able to do the same or will the speed of Houston and the running ability of Ward neutralize Temple's rush defense? I think its going to a great game.

I agree about match ups being important and I think we matched up really well with Houston. What's more the coaches and the whole team knew itI think. Temple though not so much.
