Redshirt junior quarterback Chris Coyer, who lost three fumbles and completed just 2 of 8 passes for 20 yards, is still Temple's starter.

"Chris, right now, I believe still gives us our best opportunity right now as we sit today," Temple coach Steve Addazio said.

Coyer was benched in favor of backup Juice Granger (3 for 7, 21 yards) after his third fumble late in the third quarter. Temple third-string quarterback Kevin Newsome, in his first action this season, had a 42-yard run on his first play from scrimmage. He did not attempt a pass.

Simply wow! They should struggle big time with our pass rush.

I feel that UC should beat Temple by at least ten points this weekend and probably more. Bearcats will be the favorite in every game the rest of the way. I will take a 10-2 season and hopefully at a share of the Big East Championship.

I never was much for sharing, but I'll share it with Rutgers, provided they beat Louisville for us.

Coyer won us a Bowl Game last year, so he's getting the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, we dont really throw the ball, because Addazio doesn't believe in it. We basically run Georgia Tech/Navy's offense without the deception, and without the QB running as much as he should.

Havent watche Temple much this year, but that offense sounds really bland.

They seem like a quick starting team. We will need to come out with our helmets strapped up. (not me personally, but you know what I mean. I do have one of those attractive UC helmet hats but that is another story. My wife refers to it as my birth control hat?? That's rough.)

They have some game, but it seems like once teams adjust they are able to shut Temple down this year.

I think Temple would be very happy if Munchie was their quarterback (or our quarterback).

Just replaced Coyer with Granger (i think). Munchie would not start over the Granger kid.

Granger looks solid.

He's more accurate than Coyer, but doesn't have his running ability. We're a mess any way you look at it.
