Why Temple Will Win

The Owls might have been stuffed by Oklahoma last week 42-3, but they’re well coached, have a decent enough defense to be a concern, and they have a Georgia Tech team that might be a tad bit fried.

It’s a home game, and it’s supposed to be an easy one, but the main goal here is to get this done as quickly as possible so everyone can rest up. Quarterback Haynes King will play, but he’s been banged up.

Temple has yet to turn the ball over, the passing game was efficient before dealing with OU, and it’ll take advantage of any lack of concentration if the Yellow Jackets play like they’re just trying to get things done. But …

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

UMass might be the worst team in the FBS, and Howard is from the FCS ranks. To be fair, going from those two to Oklahoma is like going from 0 to 60, but Temple isn’t nearly as good as it looked and played in the first two games.

Georgia Tech’s offensive line has been terrific so far. It’s doing a great job in pass protection, the ground game has been great, and Job One is to keep King from getting hit. The rest of the parts should take care of everything else.

Georgia Tech Will Methodically Take Care of Temple

The Owls will be pesky enough in the first half to keep Georgia Tech trying, and then three straight scoring drives in the second quarter will put this away.

The Yellow Jackets will keep cranking up the production in the third quarter, and rest everyone in the fourth. It won’t always be smooth, but it’ll be the first 4-0 start since the 2014 team played for the ACC Championship.
