Clemson -44 @ Temple - Seems like a good letdown spot for the Tigers with the come from behind last week and Georgia Tech on deck, however this is Temple we're talking about here and even if Clemson puts in the 2nd and 3rd stringers they still outclass the Owls by a ton. Louisville and Minnesota beat this team 62-0 without breaking a sweat and I doubt very seriously if they played their 1st string the entire game. In fact I just checked. Minnesota played 3 different QB's in that game and 7 different backs had rushing attempts. Louisville's 2nd string QB got plenty of playing time, 7 different players had rushing attempts and 8 different players had a pass reception. When you can keep throwing fresh players in there it's a huge advantage. Temple scored '0' pts combined in those 2 games! Yeah, so they've scored 38 in their last 3 but that was against W. Mich, Vanderbilt and Kent St. If they get more than about 3 in this one I'll be surprised. Temple has a total of only 5 TD's in 6 games, 3 rushing and 2 passing along with 8 INT's! They've only made 2 FG's total in 6 games...in fact they've only had a total of 4 attempts all year! That tells you how often they even get close enough to try a FG. This one ought to end up at around 54-3.
Colorado St +6 @ Air Force - Passing team vs rushing team. Possible slight let down for the Falcons after that emotional Navy game. I'm an A.F. vet so I know how tough it is for them to lose to a bunch of freakin' squids! That's by far the biggest game of the year. Colorado St has a real decent run defense. In fact, I don't expect this to happen again, but LY the Rams held A.F. to a measly 42 rushing yds and beat them by 18 at Ft Collins. Ram QB Hanie looking good with a 154 QB rating and completing about 72% of his attempts. Falcon QB Carney only completing about 56% so if the Rams can do well against the run again it will get real tough for A.F. to score much. Air Force can be vulnerable to the pass as they've given up 333 to Tennessee and 232 to Wyoming. The Rams have the potential for the outright win in this game.
