Temple Game: Team Stats

I think Ohio Miami is better than Temple. They got completely rolled by Rutgers two weeks ago, giving up 250 yards rushing. They will likely apply the same defensive concepts that Ohio and BCC employed, playing their DBs way off and essentially giving us free yards on underneath stuff. As long as TVD stays patient (and there's no reason to think he won't) We should be able to rack up easy yards and points. 35-10 Good guys.

I definitely expect them to be off ball to try to stop the big play first. But they will fail. Haye as their starting DT is all you need to know about their run and interior rush defense. TVD is going to have all day to throw and the RBs will be into their secondary prior to contact.

I predict we’ll be sitting TVD in third quarter again. Then all our starters in fourth quarter.

I just hope we run our O. If we go in with the mind set of running it more, just because the stats say we should, we'll possibly ***** ourselves over. Run the O. The big runs will be there, but they will especially be there is we let TVD sling it. We should never, ever box ourselves in. ****, I'd PA pass and toss it deep first play of the game. I say we practice keeping teams completely off balance, and keep running our O. Attack all parts of the field, all game long. Do this and we'll have a big day rushing the ball. Go in there just trying to ground and pound and our O will not be what anyone wants to see. Well, anyone but Temple's DC.

Run. The. Ball. Their defense dictates that running the ball is the best way to beat them so beat them.

We need to continue working on our run game. Texas A&M actually limited our run game so we need to fortify our run game before we get to ACC play.

Also, we'll mix in the pass game and get our WRs touches. It's in Dawson's DNA to do so..

Simply run the O. If the run game is working, maybe run it a bit more. Dumbing down the O just to work on your run game is a recipe for disaster. We've all seen it in the past. We go into a game against the 115th ranked rush D, and try to ground and pound, only to look like **** in the process. Just run the **** O and take what they give.

As for TAM, they are a fine example of why we run the entire O. They took away our run game, but we made them pay in the passing game. If we keep running our O, the run game will open. We don't need to work on the run game against Temple. For crying out loud, we face a better run D in practice every day. The reason we walked away from TAM was because our O can attack all parts of the field. THAT is what we need to continue working on, because that is what will beat the better teams on our schedule.

Just move the chains and score points. Don't box yourself in because you think this week is a good chance to work on one aspect of the O.

I trust Dawson 100%. I know he'll have a solid game plan. It'll be balanced, and deadly.
