Here are two games to consider this week...
W. Michigan -4 vs. Temple
Temple is 85th in the country in passing, 113th in total offense and 97th in scoring offense—and is 111th in third-down conversions. Now, the Owls are missing Adam DiMichele (their starting QB) for several weeks to injury. Temple is 114th in the country against the run, tied for a respectable 45th against the pass, is 95th in overall defense and middle of the pack 66th in scoring defense. The team was so banged up on the defensive of side with injuries this week the coach gave them off practice Monday.
On the hand, they are facing a W. Michigan team who fired up 633 yards in total offense, just 30 yards under the school record last weekend (while the starters sat the forth quarter). W. Michigan ranks 22nd in the country in total offensive with 457 yards per game and 24th in total points scored with 36.3.
Illinois + 16 vs. Penn State
You can figure this one out…
