I think we would beat them. While they're certainly heating up, the biggest problem during that game was the 11 penalties for a whopping 88 yards.
Most of them were on offense but one of the defensive penalties was that stupid and untimely unsportsmanlike penalty on Juwuan Brown after that sack. Would have put them at 2nd and 27 and arguably would have led to a punt by Temple. Instead, that gave them a first down and led to a touchdown.
The holding penalty that negated and effectively made QF's run that led to his injury was costly, as it eventually forced us to play Kean on a 3rd and forever out of his own endzone. I don't blame him for throwing the INT he did, that was a lot of pressure on the young man. Not much different than when Eveld came in on 3rd and (17?) against FSU in 2012 and got sack-fumbled for an eventual TD that changed the game.
I think the team, while allowing so many points and yards over time against Navy, showed a lot more discipline while the game was more competitive. 42-14 is a great place to be in at halftime against any opponent, especially a ranked one.
So I think that if the team was given an opportunity to right the ship, they would do so. And would at least put themselves up out of reach before slowing their jets and letting Temple get a couple TDs back.
