Temple vs Navy Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

The defense is fantastic at coming up with third down stops.

No, the run D isn’t amazing, but overall the Owls have a problem against teams that can throw enough to make open things up for everything else. Teams that weren’t able to throw – Rutgers, UMass, Lafayette – also didn’t run for a score.

For some stretches, yes, but the Midshipmen will go on just enough good scoring marches to get up early, and they’ll take the air out of the ball in the second half.

Temple won’t be able to take advantage of its chances to take over the game – there won’t be enough of them.
