Temple -7 over Army ***
Last year I was at this game.Army won 37-21 despite Temple dominating.There were 29,000 people on Army and I think one on Temple...and course I was the lone fan and loser.
Before we got to our seats it was 7-0.Army returned the opening kickoff.Can"t remember everything but it was brutal..fumble recovery ..Army scores..punt returned..army scores.Trimble was everywhere.
Well Army has finally changed its offense and has gone to the wish-flex.Close to AF and navy's option.But Williams lyrs QB is running it.He's a drop back passer and has no lateral speed.In practice he has been doing pretty good but I can't see many Qb keepers...he can pass so that is a threat.Think he will have trouble with a solid Temple D that ranks top in the MAC...Temple has everyone back....this is a new offense for army.Mooney the Cadet FB will have a solid year.He's 5'10 247 and will get 20-25 carries.Think this is a great move going to a wishbone because Army doesn't have the OL to pass block.Think they will score some points..but Armys problem is defense.esp the backfield.All 4 DB's are puppies. They have one or two starts among all of them.There small and inexperinced.In fact "6 of Armys top 12 defensive players tonite have no game experince.Armys DL is avg,weak DB's and LB's are there only strenth.
Temple has a good QB in Michele.He had over 300 yds and 2 td's lyr vs Army.one of Temples top rb's has been moved to WR.They have 3 or 4 rb's that are quick.I think Temple should move the ball and score vs Army defense.Temple defense returns all 11 starters..they ranked 44th in defense,No 1 in red zone defense and 14th in 3rd down defense.They have had 3 or 4 weeks to prepare for Army's flex.
Army will be fired up tonite...new offense,new turf but same old Qb.Don't think they can score 21 points on sp.teams like last year.Temple defense should pack it in,stop Mooney and make Williams become a decision maker...Temple wins by 2 Td's...Army in practice has looked good not fumbling and moving the ball...but that is against there defense..Army needs a few weeks of tuning up there new offense...Temple should win
Good luck...
