Pierce is a load of a man for Temple, but that is all they have and those legs are tiring carrying 30+ times a game. Akron comes off a big home win against a decent Kent teamwhere they put up over 400 yards and look to continue their decent homeplay. The key to this game will be Nicely against the Temple secondary, where if Akron O line will hold up, I like Nicely to pick apart this awful secondary of Temple. On the other side, Akron can put 8 to 9 in the box, and make Temple beat them through the air, which I doubt they can. Therefore, I see a possible low scoring game, with Akron pulling out the big home win. consider yourself warned
Temple last week had a let down game after beating Navy.. Akron just played their bowl game last week in a rival game vs. Kent. I watched that game from start to finish and I was on the zips in that game. But I see a major let down game this week for the Zips becasue they really left everything out on the field in that game. Also it is a short week for the zips and the owls had an extra day. Again this is a HUGE game for the OWLs becasue they have to win this game and stay unbeaten going into the Ohio game which will be for the MAC East. Im on Temple -6.
