Temples offense is terrible...
Our defense laid an egg just like our defense laid an egg against Tulsa...Defense has to start showing up on the road.
Our defense was on the field that entire game. Holding Temple to 3 FGs off of turnovers in the first quarter was huge! But the damage was done to the stamina....
Sure, it wasn’t perfect, and there were some costly penalties (ahem) but they scored a TD after another Turnover in the 2nd half too.
Points off Turnovers = 16 points.
Total points = 30
D gave up 14 points nonTO related drives, caused 2 fumbles, and forced Temple to 37% conversions on third down.
Memphis was only down 2 points and driving on the last TO in the 2nd half, when we fumbled, they took it down and scored. 14 points swing.
I’m offended someone says our D layed an egg.
Temples O is not that good. Good for USF. Watched the whole game. Both teams are mediocre....
It’s a shame we lost and our D is not as great as the stats...and sure, to go undefeated would ask our D to overcome turnovers, but it isn’t that good and was unrealistic.
