Line: Notre Dame -10.5
Over/Under: 50.0

Looking over the strengths of these excellent programs, you can get a sense for the high level of competitiveness ahead. Notre Dame is built around a controlling offensive line anchored by LT Ronnie Stanley, our seventh-highest graded LT in pass protection to date. The other side of the ball finds DT Sheldon Day patrolling the interior with the sixth-best run defending grade in the nation.

Temple has previously found themselves as the predicted underdog in three games this season, overcoming each, and no team has scored twenty points (23) on the Owls since September Week 3. Viewing the Temple offense operate, it quickly becomes evident that RB Jahad Thomas is the key and LT Dion Dawkins the seam-creating bulldozer. It’s not until you examine the defense that you discover the Owls collection to be the reckoning force in their early-season dominance

The predicted spread is not only a near-guarantee to fall, the Temple defense holds such a decided advantage over that of Notre Dame’s, the Owls will most likely add another win to their impressive 7-0 season.

Prediction: Temple 30, Notre Dame 21

I'll be a guest of Anthony Gargano and the 97.5 Morning Show tomorrow at 7 a.m., and I'm sure several of you have heard that the Morning Show will be doing its show live Friday morning from Temple's Student Center.

Just wanted to pass that along and hope you all enjoy the programming.

I have never seen so much hype about Temple. All the talk shows, TV shows, people talking Temple. I was wearing Temple gear at the gym & everybody wanted to talk Temple!! WOW. I hope our OWLS can keep up with ND & hold their own. Even if we don't get it done, what an incredible week. The most important thing is to win the AAC East. Memphis is critical, SMU is a must win after a Hugh hype with ND. Got to keep all of this in prospective. If the OWLS hold their own, this would be Hugh. But ND is in a different league then Temple. If it doesn't go our way. We got to play to WIN the AAC East. GO OWLS!!

Do we:

1- play bend but don't break defense
2- man up and pressure qb with blitz packages
3- keep there running game under control
4- control the clock and keep there offense off the field

Anybody else just hear his interview with Gargano on 97.5? He is quite a fan of the football team. He said he watched some games last year and thought they were playing better, knew they beat Penn State, talked about their defense, the end of the ECU game and even knew where they recruit the players from. His schedule makes it tough for him to see most of the games (he is usually playing/touring on Saturdays) but it was a very good interview.

They also had Regis Philbin on at the same time to talk about Notre Dame. Regis asked "what time is the game at?" but did mention he had no idea that Temple would be as good as they are.

I'm reading a lot of articles predicting a "pro-irish" crowd inside the Linc. I honestly think we'll have them 60/40 with a lot more noise since they're expecting to coast and we'll hit them in their jaws early. Expect a lot of green-wearing folks with flabbergasted looks of disbelief.

Full disclosure: One of my 3 tickets was promised to one of my best friends who is a ND fan and I believe may be dressed as a F'ing leprechaun. I told him his safety was not guaranteed.

Beat the Irish.

Has anyone heard of any uniform surprises for this week? I am just plain old guessing here but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Under Armor made up special uni's for this primetime matchup.

Just named the AFC special teams player of the month for October.

Go Owls - Past and Present

Check out the analysis on www.onefootdown.com, for the Notre Dame view of the game.

@975Middays

...tomorrow (Friday) from 6A - 2P on campus at SAC. Both Morning show and my show.

Stop over and say hello...Go Owls!

ESPN is still using the font/text logo from the 8YV era on their spots, along with the owl logo.

I thought we'd seen the last of that font?

If Temple takes care of business Saturday night and runs the table, we will definitely be in a NY6 bowl. But will it be enough to get us into the playoffs?
SOS says no, although we will have beaten at least 3, if not 4 top 25 teams, plus Cincy and PSU. I doubt we get in against any P-5 one loss team.
Let's look at the schedule:
#1 OSU could lose to both Mich. St. and Michigan. More likely, they could lose one.
#2 Baylor lost their QB and still must play Oklahoma, Ok. St., TCU, and Texas. They could lose at least two of them.
#3 Clemson has only to defeat Florida St. to go undefeated and should get it done, so they're in.
#4 LSU has to play Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Bama could be their only loss going into the playoffs. If Bama wins, does the Championship playoff have both LSU and Bama with one loss each?
#5 TCU still must play Ok. St, Okla., and Baylor. That's quite a gauntlet at the end of the year. They could lose two of the three, but if they're undefeated, or possibly one loss, they're in.
#6 Michigan St. must beat Ohio St. End of story.
#7 Alabama must defeat LSU to have any chance, but don't rule out a loss to arch-rival Auburn
#8 Stanford must play neighbor, Cal, but also must daefeat Notre Dame to only have one loss.
#9 Notre Dame could lose to us and Stanford. Can't afford any more losses.
#10 Iowa is undefeated and likely to remain so. They didn't play Mich., Mich St. or Ohio St. If Mich. St. or Ohio St. is also undefeated, does the committee take both? SOS does not favor Iowa. They'd have to win the BIG 10 championship game to move on.
#11 Florida is likely to have only 1 loss going into the conf. championship if they can get by Fl. St. I don't think they can beat either LSU or Alabama, so they are out.
#12 Oklahoma St. still must play TCU, Baylor, and Okla. and will probably lose two of them.
#13 Utah just has to beat UCLA to finish the regular season with one loss, but I don't think they get by Stanford in the title game.
#14 Oklahoma had a "bad" loss to Texas and still must play Baylor, TCU, and Ok. St. They are out.
#16 Memphis must defeat Houston, Temple and Navy to remain undefeated and then would have to beat us again in the conference championship. I don't think they can do it.
#18 Houston won't play us until the championship game, but they must beat Navy and Memphis. I think Memphis is the better team.
So it appears that unless there are a slew of upsets, it will be OSU/Mich. St., Clemson, Alabama/LSU, and TCU in the National Championship. We should definitely be in a NY6 bowl. A great accomplishment considering we lost to Fordham and Idaho two years ago.

What time are the lots going to open on Saturday ? The linc website states 5 hrs before kick off which would be 3pm.

Don't know if you guys have heard or not but this is a pretty big week for Temple.

We're recording our podcast tonight. Any questions for the mailbag? Post them here or tweet them to @kylegauss or @OwlScoop_com

Mr Fuller stated that philly does not care about college football until ND showed up and took some shots at Temple. We need to make sure he fully remembers his return trip to philly and show him how much we all care about college football and Temple .

Legendary O- Line coach was our assistant for one season after he was let go by Pitt and before Lou Holtz at ND (1987, I think). When we played Pitt, he addressed the team beforehand and asked every guy in the room who was recruited by Pitt to stand up. Two guys stood up. Coach Moore told the rest of the guys to go out on that field and show Pitt what they missed. Our guys played out of their minds and beat the Panthers that day.
After Lou Holtz was replaced by Bob Davie he fired Coach Moore noting his age of 64 years. Moore sued ND for age discrimination and a jury found in his favor.
I want our coaches to say something along the lines that Coach Moore said before our guys go out on the field Saturday night.
Go Owls !

Welcoming all thoughts! Thanks y'all!

Spoiler alert: But 1 of us has the Owls winning this Saturday! LessssGgggooooooooooo!!!

ABC News' "America This Morning" was going off the air when I turned on my TV this morning, but the last story (it was in progress when I clicked on) was about the Hollis-Jefferson brothers surprising their mom on her birthday by presenting her with a new home. I suppose the film clip can be found somewhere on an ABC website.

Preseason coaches poll - 6th out of 11 teams.

Listening to College Sports Today on Sirius/XM this afternoon. Hosts Mark Packer and Brady Hoke were discussing this week's slate of games when Packer unleashes this gem: "I don't usually say things like this but...Notre Dame is going to absolutely take Temple to the woodshed."

I have faith this Temple squad will have the Danny Kanell's and Mark Packer's of the world eating some crow around 11:30 Saturday night.

Who do you think it will be? I'm hoping for Bob Saget. Maybe Rob McElhenney. Merrill Reese? Meek Mill, The Roots, Pink...T-Swift??? So many good Philly options, but maybe not so many associated with Temple.

Right now, ESPN has us going to the Hawaii Bowl against either BYU or Boise. They also have Memphis going to the Peach Bowl against either Florida or LSU.
I'd love to see that in reverse. I can make the Peach Bowl. No way I can get to Hawaii for the Hawaii Bowl.
