I come in peace...

I have a feeling in my gut that we go 1st half of san diego st game on these guys all game. damn i wish we had mcneil.
 
What people always miss when they see how many yards the Wyoming D gives up on the ground is that yes, runningbacks may average 5-7 yards per carry against us, but that's an AVERAGE. All it takes is ONE negative play on a first or second down, and all of a sudden you may have to have a 10-12 yard run to make a first down... that's where our defense generally gets the stop. They've been pretty good at not giving up too many big run plays despite playing against many VERY explosive runningbacks, so they essentially rely on getting the stop "eventually." It won't work every time, but if they make you get 6-8 first downs before getting to the endzone, chances are pretty good one there will be a negative down in there somewhere, and that's where they stop you.

I think the Owls D is the key in this game, along with Wyoming Special Forces.


Edit: And I forgot about the turnover battle. Against Nebraska what really hurt us is how many fumbles we forced, yet how few we recovered.
 
Hey guys,

Another Temple fan here...Just figured I would post some highlights for you guys, just in case you haven't seen any of our team yet. I will be at the game and looking forward to it!

New QB Chris Coyer which a lot of you guys have not seen yet

that depends if austin still has the magic 'stache or not
 
I think Brett can have a huge gainer on our first play by running that fake bubble screen draw play that I've seen work so well. Temple will have to be watching for those screens and if he sells it, it will be money.
 
Not that this means much, but two years ago at the New Mexico Bowl, Fresno St. fans were saying many of the same things about a pretty good RB they had at the time named Ryan Matthews, who now plays for the Chargers. We didn't do too bad against him especially during a goal line stand to end the game.

However, to be fair, I have no idea how Fresno's line compares to the line we will face against Temple.

Right, plus, FSU fans thought that the NM Bowl was beneath them. They evidently deserved the Rose Bowl for finishing 3rd in the WAC. :rofl:
 
I would not affiliate Temple with Fresno's bowl woes. Sure, their fans might have been overconfident, but FSU has a long history of sucking ass in bowl games. Last year they got demolished by Northern Illinois in a bowl game! Wyoming needed every inch to beat that team.

There are similarities between the hype of the two running games, but I don't see the similarities in bowl woes. Fresno takes the cake.
 
Will Harris from ESPN not giving us much of a shot.

Gildan New Mexico Bowl: Temple Owls (minus-7) vs. Wyoming Cowboys, Dec. 17: We like this Wyoming team, but the Cowboys are outclassed at the line of scrimmage in this one. The rush defense is not equipped to handle Bernard Pierce and the Owls' physical attack, while the offense is missing its best rusher and receiver. Temple will chew up yards and clock, leveraging its superior special teams, massive offensive line and talented, experienced defensive front seven to control the game.

Geez......Temple winning is obviously a possibility, but a blowout? I don't think either team will be blowing either out.
 
since when was our best rusher out??? Pretty sure Brett Smith and Alvester Alexander are both going to be playing

This is very typical of what you see coming from espn. They don't care about Wyoming and will do everything they can to hold us down and present Wyoming in a bad light.

How do you figure that? I've never interpreted ESPN as anti-Wyoming. Their never on that channel.
