Temple vs Toledo Pick

Temple’s defense performed reasonably well against Penn State, but the offense managed only 9 points and has struggled to create explosive passing plays. Toledo is more balanced and should be able to attack Temple in several ways. Richter has already thrown 5 touchdowns, while Walendzak and Miller give the Rockets a productive backfield. Mason should help Temple move the chains and prevent Toledo from completely controlling possession, but the Owls will eventually need more from their quarterbacks. Look for Toledo to pull away behind its passing attack and protect its home field with a double-digit victory.
