Well we're playing Temple but we don't know when until later today and we don't know what network either right now. Regardless of when that game is or how cold it happens to be, we need as many fans as possible for the game. It's Senior Day to boot.
As fans we think everything is a must win and the reality is many of them are not. This is close to a must win if they want to play in the AAC Championship and the Cotton Bowl. A loss here puts us in a spot where we have to beat Memphis the following week to make the Championship game. A loss to Temple and a loss to Memphis would put Temple in the AAC title game based on head to head tiebreaker.
That said, this is going to be a tough tough game even at home. Anthony Russo can sling the ball. The Owls have about a 2:1 passing to rushing yardage ratio. Unfortunately the long ball is our achillles heel this season and Temple is not afraid to uncork a few. The have 3 good receivers with Jadan Blue leading the pack. The guy that usually kills us is Isaiah Wright. Very fast, good kick returner, great in open space.
All that makes me wonder if Marcus Freeman throws some curves at Temple and takes our corners off their islands for this game.
On offense we have to efficient and we must block Quincy Roche. He has 9.5 this season and was a terror vs. Tulane yesterday.
