ESPN Game Preview

Some really ignorant comments under that preview

Leaving work at 3 today!

Very excited about this game. Hope both teams come out without any injuries.

The pride of East Carolina against the pride of East PA.

I think if we can make them one dimensional and limit that RB they will have a very hard time moving the ball against us.

Not impressed with Walker. But at the same time I guess he has done what he's needed with how good the RB has been. Let's make PJ throw it tonight.

They are ranked for a reason. Hasn't stopped ECU teams in the past from winning but respect to Temple for what they have done so far. I'll be in GVegas tonight....PURPLE!

Yeah their RB is legit. They also have a very good defense, we are going to really have to play well offensively and protect the ball and not give them short fields to work with. Temple's going to be pumped, this is their first game as a ranked team since the 70's.

I'd say "Yeah, but you're playing at the Eagles Stadium," but you're not, so there goes the punchline.

None shall pass.

We threw for 350 yards against FLORIDA. 5* athletes everywhere. We can move the ball on Temple.

Any QB that wins on a regular basis should be respected imo. Walker is a gamer and finds ways to wins. I like that quality in a QB. For what it is worth, heard the guys have been extremely focused this week at practice.

What is the spread and who is favorited?

The PIRATES are ready...



In the words of Ruff...

Temple: "Want some, get some!"

Pesiks Game analysis:

this game will be hard to predict..

ECU's offense and defense are inconsistent
temple is sound on defense, average on offense but occasionally very turnover prone

if temple can run on ecu and have no more than 1 turnover, im going with temple

people want to point out the close game with ucf but ucf didnt score a single offensive td (they were defensive tds)

this game could go either way

I have been around way too many football seasons to talk smack to an opponent. This should be a great game to watch. We are on our way to D-F to pull for the Pirates!!

Temple coaches and players have been saying all the right things about the ranking and not looking ahead to ND and everything else but this is a completely new situation that none of them have ever dealt with before. Temple has quite honestly played a bunch of cupcakes since the Cincy game, and not looked extremely dominate in those games. How are they going to handle the increased pressure that being ranked and having expectations? Being the hunter is a much different mentality than being the hunted.
