Temple football Preview 2023: Temple Best Bets, Expert Picks

Temple beat absolutely no one with a pulse a year ago, but there’s reason for optimism.  In their four one-score losses, the Owls were underdogs anywhere from nine points up to 19 points.  Maybe this gets interesting.

Temple Football Predictions: Strengths, Weaknesses, Improvements, Declines

 EJ Warner began to cut down on his turnovers at the end of last year, and the offense looked much better.  There’s stability at RB, although not top tier talent.  I see room for further growth if the OL stays solid and if turnovers are further reduced (-11 ratio). 

Eight or nine starters return defensively.  The run D has hovered around 5.0 allowed, but the pass defense % has steadily gotten worse, up to last year’s 64+%.  Sacks magically appeared, more than doubling to a total of 38 (23 in AAC play).  I’d normally say more improvement is likely (run and pass defense) with this depth, but their coordinator left (NFL) and one of my least favorite coaches, Everitt Withers, is the new guy in charge.  There is no question I will be charting the defensive #’s early and often, even though there will not be a Temple team sheet.  The kicking game looks good.

Temple 2023 Football Schedule: Which Games Will They Win?

Barring a major upset (for or vs.), Temple will be 2-2 entering conference play.  Their early AAC road games are at Tulsa (new staff, fewer returning starters) and at North Texas. 

Temple has to prove it can win on the road.  Games 9-11 are home to Navy (lost last three, overtime loss last year), at rebuilding USF and at rebuilding UAB.  That gives them four very competitive road games, but how trustworthy is this team, and what about Withers and his impact on the defense?  Temple closes hosting Memphis.  The home team has won the last four in this series.

Temple Football Bottom Line: Total Wins Expected Expert Pick

 If I trusted the defensive coordinator, 6-6 or a 5-7 floor would be squarely in play.  Stan Drayton was an unknown commodity coming in as the new Head Coach but in his 1^st year I saw some signs of progress.  What’s the ceiling for QB Warner? 

I’m saying no bowl, so Everett Withers, prove me wrong!
