USF at Temple - Happenings

[Bausfkid]

86, no real insight, just a hunch.

Temple's strength on O is running, which is our weakness.  We also have not been impressive in our last two games.  Both were much closer than the scores.  Add in a short week and travel and we could be in for a disappointing Friday night.

On paper we should beat Temple by 14 points.  I just don't get that feeling.  

Go Bulls!

Sorry Kid but we win - big. no stopping these USF BULLS, not this year.

I keep thinking different reasons how we lose against the rest of the AAC field.

"If we can't stop the run then we are going to lose." Cincy comes out strong and we can't stop them; still win by multiple scores.

"If we commit too many penalties we are gonna lose." We commit over 10 for 100 and we still bet ECU by multiple scores.

"If we lose the Turnover margin by more than two we will lose." -4 vs UConn and we still beat them by multiple scores.

Im starting to realize that CWT and crew look at every game being completely different. Whatever the hand we are dealt, we deal with it. And at this point this team knows how to win and doesn't want to lose. I still believe our run defense is our Achilles heel and lack of an intermediate passing game, but outside of FSU that hasn't mattered. No matter what weaknesses we have, the opposing offense has to be able to score on every drive and their defense has to be able to stop those athletes on offense. I can't name a team that can do both consistently for 60 minutes is the thing. Every team has weaknesses. Navy is the only team that is legit a match-up nightmare.

Love the optimism John!  Guess I'm still haunted by 07 Rutgers flashbacks.

I too was at UR that night.  Jenkins did not bat the ball forward.  That play changed the game.

That game changed more than the season...

Thanks Brian I have utter confidence that our offense will score more than their's. Yes and that " forward" call was Schiano lobbying.

RU player hit the elbow and pushed it forward. Got screwed.

Should be fun, but not sure how packed. I got tix on 50 yd line behind USF bench for $20 a piece yesterday.

Because Temple fans only show up for big-time opponents, and we're G5

Weather will play a factor.  Going to be wet.

Think the forecast has changed. High of 76 and only 20% chance of rain for Friday.
