Temple's best pass rusher may not play on Saturday

[NJPSU]

This is could be a nice break for our offensive line.

Also notice how we ran all over Temple last year in a year where we weren't able to run on anyone.

47 carries for 254 yards. 5.4 yard average.

Why does my "gut" tell me this may be some hi jinx by Ruhue or a big exaggeration.
Because if its true thats a bigger development for them than Breneman not being available for us.

If really true, that just means Tyler Matakevich will need to play extra dirty. He's known as a "knee targeter" and our players need to be on the alert for his crap.

LOL. It's because we sports fans tend to be a paranoid and suspicious lot. It's not as if CJF is going to prepare the team any differently based on that report, so Rhule must know that leaking a false report like that will have absolutely no impact on the game, so there is probably some shred of truth there. I'll prepare emotionally for Martin-Oguike to play at full speed, and be pleasantly surprised if he's less than 100%.

A coach I remember always said you want your opponent to play his best. I hope he plays the whole game.

He's been banged up for the entire lead up to this game. While he may play, I really doubt this is some sort of elaborate lie.

Rhule is classy, a Penn Stater. Lying about an injury is not something he would do.

It sounds like even if Martin-Oguike plays he will not be anywhere close to 100%. As Rhule notes, the game they really need to win isn't PSU, it's Cincinnati the following week -- to have any hope of a bowl.

I *think* that was the first game we had miles back on the line. Smith also played very well, I remember him just absolutely mauling some guy on one of the long td runs (can't recall if it was lynch or belton).

Lets not forget who is paying Rhule now.
