How can Temple compete w/ Western Michigan w/o DiMichele?

Thoughts needed.

I really don't know. It all boils down to how good Stewart is. I think that some of his mistakes vs. Penn St can be discounted due to the fact that the Owl's had zero running game success and that they were severely outclassed. He received the old baptism by fire act vs the Lions and ultimately will be a better QB for it. I do know that there are plenty of holes in the Bronco secondary and defense in general. Can Stewart make the plays? I don't know, but there are certainly enough variables here to make me lay off of this one despite many good cappers that I know are backing the Broncos.

western michigan will kill temple

i'm not betting on this game but i'm not sure about wmu killing temple even without temple's starting qb...

temple opponents ytd have an average score of 29-19
wmu opponents have an average score of 26-32
that's a huge differential in strength of schedule

temple played psu, uconn and buffalo that are 10-2 su and 7-3 ats +bad army team (0-3 su and 0-2 ats)

wmu played nebraska and niu that are 4-2 su and 4-1 ats + bad idaho team + a div-i-aa team

temple can do it with their defense as they are allowing almost a full TD less than what their opponents are usually producing offensively.

wmu has some solid offensive numbers but the opponents theyve faced are far from impressive defensively. wmu defense allowed 297+ yards passing in 3/4 games...

once again, i'm not betting on this game but to say that temple has no chance is giving bold statements without any research

Last year W Mich held temple to a season low 146 total yds and they return 10 starters on defense. Don,t know how the weather will affect the game. If anything this line looks suspisciouslly low

this line seems way to low...i had it at 9-10 without DiMechele...I know it is 50-60% chance rain and WMU is mostly a passing team, but I still like WMU...1-1 betting on or against Temple this year...

I'm tempted to make it a big play, will wait for weather. gl

I wont be making this a play until about 20 minutes before gametime as well to wait on weather...I am worried about WMU getting bet up to 4.5 or 5 but I will take that chance as I dont think it will much matter.
