Before we write off Temple

I'm sure I'll be making a lot of Temple-centric posts this week, so let this be one of them ...
Don't Take Them Lightly.
Yes, they got thumped by UT. But they also had a 10-0 lead and were only down by one TD against the spRockets in the third quarter. They did this ON THE ROAD. A series of mental mistakes (RE: stupid penalties) and missed opportunities put Tood-a-lee-doo in the driver's seat. My guess is Coach Wallace sees the positives; I'm guessing he sees the BG game as winnable. The fact that we opened as only a 6-point favorite shows many others think that way, too.
If we play our A game, we win this one in a blowout. Otherwise, it could be a dogfight.
