RU football: Three keys for Rutgers to beat Temple and improve to 2-0
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
This game really will be fought in the trenches. Warner will throw lots of quick, short passes, in order to negate the pass rush. However, our DBs - assuming they play at/near what we saw last week - will limit the damage. Their running game won't do much of anything. Our OL will overwhelm their DL and we will spend LOTS of time running the ball down their throat. If we had Brown and Young in there, the stats would be a bit more eye-popping. But, I think the other RBs will show nicely. Oh - and, we may actually throw the ball once or twice (assuming it's not raining).
This game will look a LOT like the Northwestern game minus the Wildcats strong DL play which limited our RBs to a less-than-stellar YPC.

The defense ends/line need to make their QB feel uncomfortable and try to knock down passes if they don't get to him in time. Otherwise Temple will move the ball. They may play up tempo to catch the defense not quite ready. Temple will be a bigger challenge than Northwestern.
