FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Falcons Skunk Temple

Well, I guess we had something to prove in Philadelphia. We lit up what is probably an awful Temple team 70-16. Still, they are a a I-A team, and 70 points is an accomplishment. Obviously, we dominated every part of the game. PJ Pope had a great game, Omar had a great game. Six TDs on the ground, four in the air.

When are we going to let Jason Washington throw a pass? Just wondering. Special teams were strong (BJ Lane is leading the MAC in KO returns), and we only threw five incomplete passes.

On the defensive side, Temple only averaged 2.8 yards per carry on 35 rushes, were 13 of 24 in the air, for just under 200 yards. Defense is a little hard to judge when the game is such a blow out. It was one of our top offensive performances, and the first half was also nearly a record setter.

With that out of the way, the remainder of the games are in the league, and there is no margin for error. CMU is next, and they have a very good RB who could torch us. More later in the week to preview CMU.
