LOSS

There is no secret to what Army is going to do here. They are going to run the flexbone on almost every play, and try to stay ahead of the chains as they have done for years. The Cadets are absolutely not a threat in the air, as they have completed a grand total of eight passes all season, and in fact have played three games without completing any. Defensively, Army allowed 38 to Ohio State but just 17.3 points per game to the rest of their schedule. Temple will have a hard time scoring a bunch, as most of their key pieces from an explosive offense a year ago has moved on. The Owls' offense has produced 16 or fewer points in more than half their games. Notre Dame and South Florida, a pair of ranked teams ran well on Temple, but their other five opponents have generated just 436 yards on 154 carries at 2.83 yards a tote. I think with no threat of the pass at all, the Owls can make Army come up short on a number of possessions to keep this game UNDER the total.
