Totally different game LY if RU doesn’t drop easy pick 6 that hit DB in chest on first play of game
Rutgers -10 vs Temple
- Thread starter Miggins
- Start date
Every time I hear about how a team is really Angry about last year and will be ready to stomp us, I think of HB Blades from Pitt in ‘06, and George Selvie at USF.
Lol
Lol
Akron is the bottom of the MAC
Sleepwalking is far from an excuse.
Akron blew an opportunity to retake the lead in the 2nd Half.
Temple winning by 2 points at home speaks volume.
Unless we are a turnover machine on Saturday this won’t be close at all.
Don’t remember that. NW QB made some nice throws into tight window. the underneath stuff was open by design
Why don’t we ask each other ,
Who’s blocking Lewis ?
Wes Bailey ?
Toure ?
We dominated a Big ten D line and O line ?
Temple is better ?

Of course no one remembers the game really wasn’t as close as the score indicates. TU turned over the ball on downs their last drive in their own territory. RU drove the ball down to TU’s 3 yard line and opted to run the clock out rather than punching it in (after much success running the ball).
Don’t know how good Warner is bt NE Qb threw for almost 200 yds before getting pulled and missed a lot of open receivers.
Temple's Nate Stewart also dropped an easy touchdown pass from Warner in the second quarter 10 yards behind all the defenders and right between the 1 and the 8 on his jersey. Two can play that game. Warner doesn't give up tipped touchdown passes anymore either.
True. But we also chose to take a knee at the Temple 3 on 1st down. Right or wrong, there’d be less upset alert buzz generally right now if we punched the ball into the end zone instead with time expiring as the final scoreboard would’ve said 23-14 instead.
True, but that was after Temple had the ball to win the game and our defense came up big. I sure hope Greg and the team aren't as dismissive of Temple as some of our fans, we have a great opportunity to start 3-0 and win 4/5, only thing that is going to stop us is if the team adopts the attitude of our cocky fans.
More likely that a regression from our quarterback and/or O-line could stop us.
Wow!!! Jack Jones sure hit the wall since Love Boat.
I hope this lights a fire under our guys. I know transitive property doesn’t ever apply as each game is different, but after only one game it’s the only data to go by. Playing on the road vs home is always worth a few points. So a Temple “free pick” is essentially saying Akron figures to be as good or better than Rutgers this season. No other way to interpret that comment right now.
He doesn’t understand he is actually giving Temple too much credit for their 3 point win at home against Akron
Who knows how the game ends up but to use our 24-7 win against a P5 when they had 3 points on Akron. Too funny
Line dropped to 7.5 this morning. Really interesting. Cannot see a single Rutgers "undisclosed" injury that would move the line. It has move 2.5 points since open which is a lot.
We would be ~4.5 favorites only on a neutral field? Only 1.5 point favorite if game at Temple?
Wow, but this makes me wonder (and makes me a bit nervous)

I can’t figure out why TU didn’t blow the doors off Akron. Unless Joe Moorhead really improved Akron that much.
Doesn’t the line move like that misting to change the betting if there is no obvious injury or something?
At this rate Temple should be favored by kickoff.

Well this didn't age well.
As the late, great Warner Wolf use to say:
"If you took Temple and the 28.5, you lost!!!!"
“Free” pick. You get what you pay for I guess.
Check his history. He had one post in the past three years before this week. I'm guessing that he is on his way to the Norfolk State board.
