Temple vs Lafayette Game Preview
Why Lafayette Will Win
The Leopards are going to bring the defense.
The offensive side might not be anything special, but the secondary has been good for the last few years, the offense’s job is to not turn it over, and the goal is to keep the game low scoring and tight late.

Why Temple Will Win
Lafayette gained a grand total of 113 yards with eight through the air against Sacred Heart.
The offense did nothing, it was 1-of-11 on third down tries, and as long as Temple doesn’t get hit with a slew of turnovers and mistakes, it should be fine.
For all of the problems against Duke, Temple was good against the run and was solid in the second half.
