Temple's Offense

[fairgambit]

I hope one of the Temple fans here saves this post...

I think you guys are in for a good year. I don't think you'll get PSU in the opener, but you have a 10 win team on your hands if they can make something of the offense. Defense should be sound; they'll give up some yards but clamp down to prevent a lot of scoring. PSU fans are quite familiar with the style of play. I'm curious to see your freshman RB and if he can prove to be a bit of a playmaker, you guys should be able to get the offense moving enough to win a lot of games. IMO, you should be excited heading into this season.

No need. I will save it. If I am wrong I will admit it. I did both times it happened in the past and I will do it again.
10 Temple wins? Throw out Penn State and Notre Dame as losses. Throw out the game after Penn State, Cincinnati on the road. Cincy was 9-4 last year and are far superior to Temple. Throw out UCF that was also 9-4 last year and beat Temple by 20. Throw out Memphis that finished 10-3 last year and was ranked #25 in the final polls. That's 5 losses right there. I see Temple losing at ECU (8-5 last year although they did lose to the Owls in Philly). That's 6 losses. I look at the Temple game at South Florida as another loss. I see Temple finishing at 5-7. If they get some breaks they could go 6-6, or even 7-5. That's it. If Temple gets anywhere near 10 wins their coach should be named Coach of the Century.

There you go again, using data from last season to make an informed opinion. If you were a good, analytical fan, you would toss all that "data" sh!t out and just rely on your gut feel and "reports from camp". Try it some time. You really are the absolute worst poster on BWI.

I'm sorry. I know I'm pathetic. OK, OK, I'm going with my gut feeling because I don't get reports from camp. My gut tells me.....Temple 14......Penn State 38. Yes, you're right. That score looks perfect. We win 38-14. I like the "gut feeling" approach.

You're in for a big surprise amigo. See you back here on 9/8.

You're going to wish you'd done a little research so that you didn't end up looking like BWI's biggest dummy (in addition to its worst poster).

Whether we win outright or lose by less than 3 TDs, I'll have a crow sandwich in hand for ya.

 

[Rollin Stone]

Here's the difference as I see it: reports from camp indicate that several of the skill players that TU has added on offense are projected to step in and start right away over players who started at those positions last year and are still on the team.

This is especially true at wide receiver where guys who started last year are now projecting at 2nd and even 3rd string. One of the projected starters, as I mentioned, had to leave TU for a year but the year prior put up one of the better seasons a Temple WR has ever had. The other played as a true freshman last year at Pitt, and was a projected starter there going into this year (before he transferred and was granted a hardship waiver).

Likewise, our top RB from 2 years ago just moved to OLB because he was literally 5th on the depth chart this camp.

This all indicates to me that our starters at WR, TE and RB this year represent significant upgrades over what we had last year.

Can PSU say the same about the players you've brought in on offense (honest question)? I haven't heard much aside from Paris Palmer, but maybe you're hearing something I'm not. Palmer looks like the starter at LT, but clearly is not up to speed yet based on Franklin's comments.

It's clear that both teams will have strong defenses (with PSU having the advantage), so the game will likely be decided by which offense has improved the most, and of course special teams.

Speaking of special teams, we both have issues at kicker, but I have to think we have the advantage there, with PSU having no one that has kicked at the college level previously.

Fairgambit, read the above two posts. Then read them again, slowly. This is called being a good, analytical fan. Try it some time.

Do you really think that "reports from camp" carry all that much weight? Really?

Lets think about this for a minute.

Temple- a team that has arguably one of it's biggest games in the program's history against their biggest opponent. A team that sits in the back seat to multiple other teams in the city (Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, oh and PSU) is preparing to start off the Season against this "Bigger Brother" type program, when the NFL hasn't start yet. Do you think that it is a good marketing ploy for the program to hype their team up to the media to generate interest in hopes to having at least a 50-50 crowd split? Do you think it's possible that they might exaggerate their performance in hopes to generate more interest?

Maybe, just maybe?

Now look at it from PSU's side. Why in the world would this program "over-hype" themselves to the media for this game? That makes no sense. Why they over inflate their progress and then possible go out and lay an egg against temple? Would it make more sense to down play the teams progress this camp? Would it make sense for our coach to say that the team and/or individual players still need to get better or "are not quite there yet".

Do you think that Rhule may be trying to convince his players and their city that they have a chance? Or that our coach is trying to motivate PSU to stay hungry and not to be over confident because we are playing Temple.

Really all of this is non sense because "Camp reports" should be taken with a grain of Salt and understand that it maybe more spin than facts.

Just my thoughts, sorry for the ramble.

Pretty much agree.
I think TU will be good and will probably give us a really tough game but geez some of their posters that came over hear make it sound like they could all start for the Eagles.
They say we are wearing the B&W glasses but I think they maybe drinking Owl juice.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying we'll win or lose, just that it will be closer than 3 TDs, which is the margin that fairgambit guarantees Penn State will win by.

Are you suggesting that Rhule is lying about the depth chart to generate excitement among Philly fans? Whaaaaat??

Re: PSU, are you suggesting it's unthinkable that a JUCO prospect who has never played a game at the FBS level might not be 100% ready to go after his first ever FBS camp? Whaaaaat??

I think I may actually know more about your team than some of you do... nevermind the Owls...

 

[TU_NY]

Btw, it's not going to be a "50-50" crowd. We're expecting over 10,000 students and there are over 13,000 season ticket holders alone. It wasn't even 50-50 in 2011; it sure as hell won't be in 2015.

 

[fairgambit]

I generally try to avoid responding to trolls, but the more a troll mentions a particular poster (me in this case) the more their (my) status grows on this Board, so for that I thank you. I do want to clarify something. I do not believe, in any post I ever made on this Board regarding Temple, that I ever used the word "guarantee". I predict. I do not guarantee. For example, one of my posts earlier in this thread says "I am sticking with my prediction of a 21+ point Penn State win" and another says "My gut tells me.....Temple 14......Penn State 38. Yes, you're right. That score looks perfect. We win 38-14.". These are predictions. They are not guarantees, and you should know the difference. I have also said, more than once, over the past week, after predicting a 21 point win, "If our margin of victory is less, it will not bother me at all. We will not be playing for a National Championship this year so as long as we win, I really don't care what the score is." Now, apparently you have a reading comprehension problem, and that is understandable, but I will say again, I predict Penn State will beat Temple by 21. Other than that, I really don't give a rats ass about Temple. They will be roadkill on our way to a fairly good football season. Temple will lose to Penn State by 21, or 1, or 41, and I will rejoice as if we won by 100. You can come back after your loss and post whatever you want about eating crow or some other nonsense. You will be in our rear view mirror. No one will listen and no one will care. Oh, and this is my last response to you. You simply are not worth another moment of my time. Peace.

I think it would be "wise" (see what I did there) for you to stick to talking about Temple.

Yes I would say that it is quite possible that Rhule is overstating his depth chart. I think that Matt Rhule would say anything to help his program and generate excitement among Philly fans? Matter of fact I probably know Matt Rhule a hell of a lot more than you do.

No it is not unthinkable that Paris Palmer is not ready yet to play against Temple. And considering how he was at the spring game the odds are that he isn't. My point was that Franklin had nothing to gain by publicly stating that Palmer is ready or to over hype his team or individual players progress. And if you know PSU coaches history, a certain long time coach used to overly praise his opponents and paint the darkest picture of his current team.

As a matter of fact most quality coaches rarely over praise their team and talk and talk and talk about how much progress they have had in camp and how great their incoming players are in camp. Most quality coaches when they know that they have a good team, downplay their team to the media. They talk about how far they have to go and how much they may struggle against their great opponent for that week. So when a coach is overly praising his team to the media, well it makes me pause and think why.....

I know Matt Rhule, he's a mental midget, he was a joke of an OC at temple, the year he was with the NY Giants was because he had been fired from temple. He had another on his contract that Temple was continuing to pay him while he volunteered with the giants. You don't want to believe me that's fine, but I know the truth.

Sorry

Who is this Matt Rhule you keep referring to?

"The defense speaks for itself, and has 5-6 guys that project to be on NFL rosters next year."



Does Temple have 6 guys total on NFL rosters right now? You are going to have 5-6 guys JUST OFF YOUR DEFENSE on NFL rosters NEXT YEAR? HAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh sweet Jesus, that is priceless

 

[bmw199]

Franklin just said he feels better about this team this year than he did last. By TU_NY's logic we'll now win by 42!

So you're backtracking now after stating repeatedly that PSU would win by 3+ TDs? Is that what's happening? Did you finally have a chance to actually look into the details rather than just spouting nonsense, and realize you made a mistake with your "prediction"?

Call if whatever you want to call it. If PSU wins by less than 3 TDs, then you were wrong. I will be here on 9/8 with a crow sandwich in hand.

Worst poster on BWI!

TU currently has 12 players on NFL rosters, and we've had as many as 18 in recent years.

2 years from now that number may very well be 20+.

Yes, 5-6 just on the defense. Keep in mind that, like PSU, our defense is FAR more talented than our offense this year.

CBS Sports lists 5 Temple players as NFL prospects for 2016 - 4 on defense on 1 on offense. But perhaps Temple's best defensive player - Praise Martin-Oguike - is not listed because he's a junior. That is how I'm getting to 5.

They list 8 Penn State players as NFL prospects for 2016 - 5 on defense and 3 on offense.

Another fan that knows NOTHING about their first opponent!

You caught us, we truly know nothing about Temple. I'm not exactly sure if it is a different school than Rutgers. They have the same colors, claim to be located in a similar part of the country, and their fans act remarkably similar. I've never seen the two schools together at the same time.

Unfortunately I lack the ability to be able to look up a quick stat via google and post it as evidence I know what I am talking about.

HAA! What will that 12 number be after the final cuts are made? See, the NFL rosters are not final until next week. When you take all the guys who are "projected" by CBS, isn't the total much greater than what the NFL will actually permit to go to camp?

 

[jjsocrates]

Here is why Temple fans are optimistic.

Because this might be the only point in the season where Temple comes into a game with a record remotely close to .500?

Dude that CBS prospects list is just all Srs and rSrs and a few highly touted Jrs. It's a pathetic list.
The 5 PSU guys it lists for defense are Zettle, Lucas, Williams, Nassib, and Kline. Zettle and Lucas are great but there are like 6 guys on the defensive starting roster that will someday be drafted higher than the other 3. They are just young but extremely talented and based on how they project at a national power at PSU I see them like this:
Round 1: Johnson DT (rJr), Allen S (So)
Round 3: Bell LB (Jr), Wartman-White LB (rJr), Haley CB (So)
Round 5: Sickels DE (rSo)

This doesn't account for uber talented freshman like John Reid.

Temple doesn't have close to this type of talent. (And yes I know there will be other PSUers that say I can't project this far ahead for some of these guys but screw it. I'm debating a guy that thinks Temple is loaded with NFLers)

 

[psualum10]

Btw, it's not going to be a "50-50" crowd. We're expecting over 10,000 students and there are over 13,000 season ticket holders alone. It wasn't even 50-50 in 2011; it sure as hell won't be in 2015.

I don't know how someone didn't catch this one lol but ... You're expecting 10,000 students and 13,000 season ticket holders ... Um the stadium holds basically 70,000 you think you're going to have 12,000 random Temple fans just show up to this one game alone (just to be at 50-50)?

Dude, I just posted what CBS Sports has for 2016. That's it. Temple has 5 guys listed, PSU has 8. Apples to apples.

If anything, CBS Sports would know a lot more about Penn State's players - since as you've all repeatedly pointed out, it's PENN STATE - than they would about Temple's; which is why I believe we may have another 2-3 players that will be on rosters in addition to what they list.

Also, as I said, we've had as many as 18 players on rosters in recent years (due to your boy Al Golden); but Addazio left the cupboard pretty bare when he left for BC so we've had a bit of a drought more recently.

Of course Penn State's recruits are more highly touted, but since Golden took over Temple has always done more with less vs. programs like PSU. Just look at guys like Wilkerson, Pierce, Streater, McManus, etc. NONE were highly regarded recruits.

Yes. It's likely that more Temple fans will come to this one game (or the 3 game package) than there are season ticket holders.

For example, my season ticket group is 6 guys, but we have around 20 additional Temple fans coming to the PSU game.

Lol this will be just like 2007 and 2011 well have 60-70% of the fans there and it'll be another home game. You guys average 21k a home game yet think you'll get to 35k for this one

NO, the point was there is no analysis in that list its just a list of Srs. It shouldn't be used as justification your guys are actually prospects.

 

[TU_NY]

You're still here? Still touting reports from camp and calling out other team's fans, huh? Are you trying to be Temple Al? Let's see if we see you after Sept. 5.

Just calling out one fan, for the most part. Almost everyone else has been smart, respectful and analytical in their responses.

And as long as PSU doesn't win by more than 3 TDs, I will absolutely be back here on 9/8 to call that one fan out. As you may have noticed, he is already backtracking from the outrageous claims he's made on the board regarding the outcome of the game.

 

[TU_NY]

NO, the point was there is no analysis in that list its just a list of Srs. It shouldn't be used as justification your guys are actually prospects.

No, it's not just a list of seniors. If it was, Temple would have over 15 players listed, not 5. Some schools have only 1 player listed. Some have none. It's a list of NFL prospects.

2007 was a huge majority PSU fans, no doubt about it. 2011 was closer to 50-50. This year it will be majority TU. You can mark it down.

since Golden took over Temple has always done more with less vs. programs like PSU. Just look at guys like Wilkerson, Pierce, Streater, McManus, etc. NONE were highly regarded recruits.

More with Less:
L 09/25/10 State College, PA 13-22
L 09/17/11 Philadelphia, PA 10-14
L 09/22/12 State College, PA 13-24
L 11/15/14 State College, PA 13-30

Just calling out one fan, for the most part. Almost everyone else has been smart, respectful and analytical in their responses.

And as long as PSU doesn't win by more than 3 TDs, I will absolutely be back here on 9/8 to call that one fan out. As you may have noticed, he is already backtracking from the outrageous claims he's made on the board regarding the outcome of the game.

While it doesn't take away from him being the worst/dumbest poster on BWI, all of rivals, and soon the entire internet. You really are twisting his words. You used the word "guarantee", not him. Do a search and see for yourself.

Glad to hear you agree. Here is what that same poster just said in another thread:

"Well, by the 3rd Quarter, Temple will be just about "blown out"."

IMHO...

PSU will struggle to score more than 21 points in this game.

That being said...PSU D should handle Temple relatively easily.

Psu 20
Temple 9

Perfectly reasonable prediction.

What a bunch of BS. ...none of the other posts are any more "analytical" than the one you're griping about, you just don't happen to agree with it.

"PSU is going to win by 3" is palatable to you, "PSU by 21" is not. NEITHER is any more analytical than the other.

Still no mention of a "guarantee"

He knows absolutely nothing about the team, yet swears Nits win by 3 TDs. I ask why, he says something to the effect of "because we're PSU and you're Temple, that's why".

Wow, what a great poster!!

Why do you need details to not feel insulted? He's correct and efficient.
