Houston vs Temple Game Preview

Why Houston Will Win

You don’t think Houston will be a wee bit focused for this?

Temple came into the Cougars’ house a few weeks ago and left with a 56-55 win. UH couldn’t hit from the outside and it couldn’t stop fouling – and the Owls couldn’t stop making their free throws.

Keeping them off the line is a must – Temple is among the best free throw shooting teams in America – and getting on the move is even more important.

Houston should be able to force a ton of turnovers, it’s not going to have to worry about the Owl D creating a slew of big defensive plays, and get moving, get moving, get moving.

One good scoring burst should to it, but …

Why Temple Will Win

Again, Tempe has to make this a free throw contest.

It’s not going to be able to match the Cougars if this gets into any sort of a shootout, and it can’t get behind for too long – the firepower isn’t there.

But it has to grind this down to a stop, accept that it’ll be a low scoring game if things go right, and get to the line.

Houston hit just 11-of-21 free throws in the loss, Temple made 20-of-22. That has to repeat itself, but …

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not happening.

Houston will get out to a quick start, Temple will have to start throwing up threes to try getting back into this, and that will be a problem.

The Owls are playing great lately, but Houston hasn’t lost away from home and cranks up its defensive intensity, especially against the three.

It’ll be payback time for a few weeks ago.

Why East Carolina Will Win

The offense should get its groove back.

Nothing worked in the strange 42-3 loss to Houston last week, but that was one of the weirder blowouts. The offense wasn’t horrible, but the passing game couldn’t keep things moving, the defense wasn’t even close, and it turned into a disaster.

Normally the offense is far more efficient, there hasn’t been any problem with turnovers – none in the last five games – or penalties, and now it gets to deal with a Temple defense that’s not awful, but it doesn’t do enough to overcome the mediocre offense.

But …

– Bowl Projections | Bowl Bubble: Who’s Bowl Eligible?

Why Temple Will Win

The defense is able to come up with plenty of third down stops.

The East Carolina offense stalls a bit too much at odd times. Again, it should be better than it was last week, but it has to overcome a defense that gives up way too many yards through the air and is too rocky on third downs.

Temple has been able to stay in most games lately, but it needs the passing game to keep on moving. Freshman QB EJ Warner struggled in the 23-3 loss to Cincinnati, but before that he was a yardage machine to build around.

He’ll be back to form in this – he’ll push for close to 300 yards.

– Week 13 College Football Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Can Temple turn all the yards into points? That’s been a problem, and it’ll be costly again here – it doesn’t do enough to close out drives.

East Carolina won’t have a smooth ride, but it’ll be consistent and balanced for a full four quarters. The defense will hold on in the third quarter and the offense will pull away.

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The Bearcats are deep in the mix for the American Athletic Conference title, win this, beat Tulane next week, go defend your championship.

The passing game has been up or down – Ben Bryant failed to get to 56% in three of his last four games – but the yards are there. As long as the offense is taking advantage of its chances, and as long as the yards are there for Bryant, everything else should fall into place.

The best defense in the AAC with the best pass rush in the conference should hold up fine, but …

– Bowl Projections

Why Temple Will Win

The Owls have something in EJ Warner.

The freshman passer is bombing away with more than 200 yards in six of the last eight games and a 486-yard day against the porous Houston secondary. He’s going to keep throwing and he’s going to keep pressing even in the face of Bearcat pressure.

Cincinnati keeps on winning, but it’s getting thrown on over the last few weeks. Navy didn’t do anything through the air – it’s Navy – but UCF and East Carolina were able to come up with enough yards to matter, and …

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

It might not always be pretty, but Cincinnati keeps on getting the job done. It’s still in the mix for a New Year’s Six game, but it’ll have to try against a suddenly interesting Owl offense.

Warner will have a good yardage day, but he’ll give away two picks, The Bearcat defensive front will take over in the second half.

Temple vs Houston Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

Can Temple rise up against a Houston team that might be running on fumes?

This was supposed to be a huge season for the Cougars, but instead of making a push for the College Football Playoff like Cincinnati did last year, they’re battling to try to get bowl eligible after suffering a 77-63 loss in the highest scoring game in FCS history.

Meanwhile, Temple is improving in the first year under Stan Drayton with a 54-28 win over USF last week.

The O has found something in QB EJ Warner, he’s coming off a 344-yard day, and now the passing game gets to let it fly against the struggling Houston secondary.

– 10 Best Picks Against The Spread

Why Houston Will Win

Yeah, the Temple passing game is working, but there’s no ground attack, the offense is struggling on third downs, and usually points are a big problem.

The 54 last week against USF was an outlier.

Houston needs to pick itself up off the map in a hurry – it was starting to roll before whatever that was last week against SMU – but the offense is working just fine and it should be able to bomb its way out of problems.

The Temple defense isn’t good enough to hold up.

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Houston gives up points to everyone. It doesn’t matter who it plays, it’s going to give up 400 yards.

That might a lot for Temple to do, but the passing game will be there to provide a push. However, the offense won’t move the chains enough to control the clock, the Houston offense will score in a flash, and Houston will get bowl eligible.

In this rough year, going bowling is something to celebrate.

USF vs Temple Game Preview

Why USF Will Win

The USF running game should rumble.

The passing game has stepped up was the offense keeps on improving, but it’s the ground attack that should be able to take over early on with a decent style that averages five yards per carry with plenty of gashing runs.

Temple’s defense has been able to hold up – for the most part – but teams that commit to the ground game can bust through and succeed. As long as USF runs at least 35 times, it’ll have a shot.

Temple doesn’t have the scoring pop to keep up, but …

– Breaking down the CFP Top 25 rankings

Why Temple Will Win

The Temple defense is fine.

It might have problems at times against he run, but it’s the best in the AAC at coming up with third down stops, the pass defense is among the best in America, and it all starts with a pass rush that will go off.

USF’s defense can’t stop much of anything. It’s the second-worst in America – yay Charlotte – with huge problems against the run. Temple might not have enough happening on offense, but the passing attack will be good for at least 200 yards.

However …

– Schedules, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

As good as the Temple defense is, it doesn’t take the ball away.

USF’s offense will be a bit more balanced, the ground game will work, and the Temple offense will stall just enough to keep up.

Finally, the Bulls will break through after a slew of close calls.

Temple vs Navy Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

The defense is fantastic at coming up with third down stops.

No, the run D isn’t amazing, but overall the Owls have a problem against teams that can throw enough to make open things up for everything else. Teams that weren’t able to throw – Rutgers, UMass, Lafayette – also didn’t run for a score.

Navy might not be able to throw outside of a few plays here and there, but there won’t be a whole slew of worries about the air show. Temple should be able to hold up against the run by selling out to keep the Midshipmen from getting to the outside, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 8

Why Navy Will Win

It’s not like the Temple offense will put up a ton of points and big plays.

The Owl offense has managed to get past 16 points just twice so far – it was the only two wins against Lafayette and UMass. Navy might not have an amazing defense, but it mostly has issues against teams that can throw well and that’s not Temple.

The Owls don’t control the clock for long periods of time, and Navy being Navy will have it for at least 35 minutes.

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can Temple’s defense rise up enough to force Navy into several third and longs?

For some stretches, yes, but the Midshipmen will go on just enough good scoring marches to get up early, and they’ll take the air out of the ball in the second half.

Temple won’t be able to take advantage of its chances to take over the game – there won’t be enough of them.

Tulsa vs Temple Game Preview

Why Tulsa Will Win

Just score.

Tulsa has a whole lot of issues, but it has a high-powered passing offense and enough firepower to at least throw a few touchdowns on the board.

Would it be nice if this was the type of attack that scored 40ish without breathing hard? Of course, but that’s not necessary.

Temple doesn’t score.

It doesn’t move the chains, it doesn’t have a good enough running game, and it turns it over too much. It put up 28 in the win over UMass, but it hasn’t scores more than 14 against any other FBS team.

Combine that with being -10 in turnover margin, and there’s a problem.

However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 7

Why Temple Will Win

What Temple does do right is attack, attack, attack.

The pass rush continues to be great, and that’s just enough be a bother against teams that can’t hold up on the line. Memphis gave up five sacks, UMass allowed four, Rutgers two, and the eight against Lafayette mattered.

Tulsa is one of the worst teams in America in pass protection. It’s going to be bothered all game long by LB Layton Jordan and the front seven that keeps on coming.

Here’s the real problem …

– Game Previews, Predictions College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Padres-Phillies will be going on in the city at the exact same time as this. Let’s just say this won’t be the most tuned-in of football atmospheres.

Temple is coming off giving up 70 to UCF. Tulsa is coming off giving up 53 to Navy. Something has to give, and it’ll be the Owl defense just a wee bit.

Tulsa can score a little bit. Temple will score more than it usually does, but it won’t be consistent enough in the second half.

UCF vs Temple Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

Every once in a while a struggling team with a new head coach who’s looking to create an identity can find something to build off of.

Temple just happens to be amazing at generating sacks and coming up with third down stops.

While that might seem a bit small, it’s a big deal to rely on while the other parts are improving.

The D is third in the nation allowing teams to convert just 24% of the time, that stars with a run defense that’s stopping just about everyone cold, and that’s all a part of a pass rush that’s tied for the best in the nation.

Temple’s defense has kept games alive. It’s allowing an average of under 17 points per game, the defense leads the American Athletic Conference, and the game shouldn’t get out of hand, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why UCF Will Win

Temple hasn’t faced any sort of an offense like this.

Memphis has an offense, and it went for 331 yards in last week’s 24-3 win. Duke rolled up 500 yards in the 30-0 loss, but that’s been about it.

UCF is ripping through everyone on the ground, averaging 253 yards per game with two efforts of over 320 yards in two of the last three games.

The Knights might not be able to do that, but as long as it gets up early everything else should be fine.

Temple’s offense is sputtering. It’s among the least efficient in the nation in passing, there’s no running game, and the only scoring outbursts came against Lafayette and UMass.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

UCF will get up early and coast from there. The defense might not be a rock – who gives up over 300 passing yards to Georgia Tech? – but it won’t have any issues to deal with.

Temple will throw for over 200 yards, but the ground game won’t go anywhere, it’ll turn it over at least twice, and the run defense get hit harder than it has all year.

Memphis vs Temple Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

The passing game is starting to come together.

It isn’t explosive, and it isn’t anything amazing, and it hasn’t put it together against anyone great, but take the 200+ yards per game over the last three. The emergence of freshman EJ Warner has helped, but it’s the offense as a whole that’s starting to improve.

The O line is doing a great job in pass protection, the other side is strong on third downs, and the pass rush has been among the best in the country so far.

The Memphis offensive line has been a bit iffy and should be under pressure. But …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Memphis Will Win

The Owl running game isn’t working against anyone halfway decent. The O line can pass protect, but it’s not getting any semblance of a push.

The bigger Temple problem for Temple is turnover margin. The D forced its first takeaways of the season against UMass, and the other side has given it away ten times in four games.

Memphis isn’t screwing up. It has a far, far more effective all-around offense, and it only turned the ball over twice.

The Tigers will likely be +2 in turnover margin, and they probably won’t need it because …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

The offense has the balance to keep everything moving.

Duke is the only team Temple has faced that can throw a bit, and it got ugly. Memphis won’t have to wing it around, but it’ll get a few deep shots, the ground game will balance things out, and the defense will get by.

Temple will get a few good drives and points, but it won’t keep up.
