Ohio @ Temple

**PeachDog** · 10-21-08, 12:08 AM

just to let you know OHIO starting RB and workhorse is out for the season.

Temple QB DeMichele is probably going to play. Temple starting OL is out, and top WR is expected to play the entire game.

OHIO DL will get a makeover as they are starting 2 players who aren't well, uhm, seasoned yet if you know what i mean.

OHIO best CB is reported to be still hurting, but is expected to start but the coach said he will monitor his process throughout the game.

**spongerat** · 10-21-08, 02:03 AM

sounds like temple -3 and under is the play

**tab** · 10-21-08, 02:34 AM

I do like temple -3. Temple is winless at home. THey lost 7-3 to western michigan and 12-9 to UConn. I am considering doing a 2 team teaser by taking temple +3 and the under 49.

Guys, DiMichele is out for the SEASON. He had surgery on his fractured leg.

His backup Chester Stewart has been abysmal, so I think the Bobcats are a rather obvious call as dogs here.

**thejrichshow85** · 10-21-08, 08:13 AM

i went with temple.

gl every1.

That's what I thought. I had heard he went under the knife and was done for the season!!! The UNDER does look juicy doesn't it?

FREAK OUT!!!

Problem with the Under is that Ohio is averaging 240 passing yards per game and the Temple defense is good against the run, so Ohio should be passing a lot and with some success too.

**Dbldown11** · 10-21-08, 09:58 AM

the play here is temple -3. im probably not gonna play the total but if I do it will be the over. temple has played the last 3 weeks without their starting qb. babrely lost vs. western michigan. beat up miami oh. and played a tight one at central michigan. western and central mich are two of the better MAC teams. ohio is not very good. I think both teams will score more than expected and the owls pull away late.

Lt, where are you getting this info? I have been on the Temple site for 30 minutes and have found NOTHING... But did read it was his shoulder NOT leg...

Also, want to add about the Central Mich game... Lefevour was hurt for the 2nd half of that game, so the score could be deceiving...

temple was down less at the half than they were at the end of the game..

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 10:55 AM

I completely agree I was just pointing it out... CMich is the class of the MAC BUT he only played 1Half... I was just making people aware. I like Temple in this game, their defense has been stellar, I was at the UB game with the last second catch and they really contained UB. I dont think Ohio has the offense that UB does and Temple should get their first home win tonight in front of a large crowd. They're offering $10 tickets if you wear pink for cancer awareness...

**daysleeper** · 10-21-08, 11:27 AM

They're offering $10 tickets if you wear pink for cancer awareness...

So it's gonna be a "pink out"

Talk about conflicting information!

You are right that Temple site indicates he is a gametime decision following a seperated shoulder.

Yet look at what covers has. Scroll mouse over "Notes" next to his name all the way on the bottom in the Injuiries section.

If its a pink out tonight than you already know ohio +3 is good....

Ya season ending/broken tibia??? I subscribed to the free "college football injury report" which is supposed to have best injury info but they havent emailed me my info yet to login... Ill check that and see what they say, probably say his neck is broken or something and then we'll really have different info

**LT Profits** · 10-21-08, 01:31 PM

As much as I rely on covers for my stat info, one would think the university website is more accurate in cases like this.

Very disconcerting for those of us that use covers religiously.

I actually think this is their way of pretty much bribing people to come to the game and they will draw a decent crowd. Its at the Linc, so the facility is nice... I like Temple in this game...

**Bouga** · 10-21-08, 01:38 PM

Ohio +3 for me

**LT Profits** · 10-21-08, 01:40 PM

If you click on the injury icon on sbrlines, which I THOUGHT was powered by Statfox, it has the same message as covers (Out for Season - Leg/Fibula)

But when yiu look on Statfox matchup page, last message was out 3-6 weeks with seperated shoulder on Sept 19.

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 01:42 PM

Its now been roughly 4 weeks so it could be possible he plays... Temples back up also has 3 games under his belt, think he starts playing better or are you all over Ohio?

**LT Profits** · 10-21-08, 01:44 PM

I played Ohio on the assumption that Stewart was starting.

**CaptainFurFace** · 10-21-08, 01:45 PM

anyone feeling the over 42.5?

I kinda am.

**erybdyducksth** · 10-21-08, 01:53 PM

Strange. But this one has a twist. This time, the few extra days gives the Owls a chance to get their quarterback back.

Ever since Adam DiMichele went down with a shoulder injury last month, Golden has been projecting the hope his starter could use the few extra days before Ohio to get back on the field. Golden said Monday he wasn’t sure what was going to happen but that he was hoping for the best. DiMichele accompanied the team on the last two road trips and was on the sidelines in uniform trying to help his team any way he could.

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 02:03 PM

Does anyone know anyone who goes to Temple? Lets get the facts!

**big joe 1212** · 10-21-08, 02:05 PM

I would not lay points with Temple, even if they were playing a High School team!

Under is the play. It seems like Temple games are very low scoring this year.

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 02:08 PM

It wont let me copy from the site for some reason but it says "the hope is he will return for the Ohio game on October 21st."

This is from collegeinjuryreport.com powered by right angle sports

Ohio also has Donte Harden out: D. Harden87454yds5.2/carry2 td's

They also have some OL and DL out...

**mtneer1212** · 10-21-08, 02:11 PM

Guys -- here is the latest from Philly -- hope this helps -- For the third consecutive week, the decision on who will start at quarterback for Temple will come on game day.

That will be Tuesday, when the Owls host Ohio at Lincoln Financial Field in an 8 p.m. game to be featured on ESPN2. There is a possibility that quarterback Adam DiMichele could return after sitting out the last three games because of a shoulder injury he suffered Sept. 20 at Penn State.
"He's not pain-free yet," Owls coach Al Golden said yesterday. "His velocity is increasing. His distance is improving. But I can't at this time name him the starter. We're still worried about him protecting himself.
"We'll take it up to Sunday and Monday to see where he's at. If he's ready to play, he'll start."
Temple (2-5, 1-3 Mid-American Conference) is just past the halfway point of the season, and getting its playmaking leader back would be a big boost for a team whose defensive efforts have been good enough to produce wins.
The Owls are third in the MAC in scoring defense with 19.3 points per game. Offensively, they are next-to-last in scoring with 17.1 ppg.
"We only start two seniors on defense, and you're starting to see the new wave of guys," said Golden, who played at Penn State and was the defensive coordinator at Virginia for five seasons before going to Temple. "Ultimately, they trust right now . . . they believe . . . they finish at a very high level. They finish probably better than any defense I've been around."
In DiMichele's absence, redshirt freshman Chester Stewart has guided the Owls. He went into their last two games still feeling the physical after-effects of his first collegiate start in a 7-3 loss to visiting Western Michigan on Sept. 27.
There had been some question about junior Vaughn Charlton's being forced to give up a redshirt season if Stewart wasn't ready to play.
Temple is 1-2 with Stewart calling the signals. He threw three interceptions last week in a 24-14 loss at Central Michigan, where he was 15 of 32 passing for 163 yards and a touchdown. For the season, Stewart is 53 of 106 through the air, with seven interceptions and four touchdown passes. He has played in all seven of the Owls' games.
In Temple's 28-10 win at Miami of Ohio on Oct. 4, Stewart threw for three scores.
"Chester did a lot of good things [last week]," said Golden, whose Owls will face an Ohio team that is 2-5 and 1-2. "He also did some costly things. We're trying to make a jump, that's right now a year-three jump, with a quarterback who is in his first year. He's made a lot of progress, but he's not year-three. We went from a 23-year-old man to a 19-year-old kid, basically. That's hard to do during this stretch."

**LT Profits** · 10-21-08, 02:17 PM

I think it is safe to assume at this point that the covers injury report is bogus.

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 02:24 PM

I would agree with you LT... check out the website I signed up with, its free... Im sure Ill get all sorts of spam but oh well. you can always hedge and take Temple with me

**themajormt** · 10-21-08, 02:24 PM

And thanks for the info Mtneer...

**Brock Landers** · 10-21-08, 02:44 PM

Taking the points and Ohio, Temple has yet to win a game at home..

Ya their 2 losses were against 1 bowl team in UConn and 1 potential bowl team in W.Mich... Ohio is more in their range!
