Ohio University takes on Temple University today in a battle for the MAC East Championship. The winner advances to to the MAC Championship game to take on Central Michigan. The game is at 11am on Friday morning. It is at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio and the game will be on ESPNU.Temple is on a roll entering this game. They have won nine games in a row since losing to Penn State and are ranked #30 in the country. They are led by their massive offensive line and great running attack. They have yet to lose a game in the MAC and have even beaten good programs such as Navy. Temple is very confident entering this game and a win may even put them in the top25.
Ohio is very excited for this game too. Ohio managed to squeak by Northern Illinois last week due to a strong fourth quarter. If Ohio wants to win this game, they will need a strong effort by quarterback Theo Scott and the run defense. Temple runs over their opponents and Ohio must be prepared to stop them. Theo Scott must be strong for Ohio to stay in it because Temple's ball control offense will limit the amount of possessions Ohio will have. They will need to capitalize when they have the ball.
The disappointing aspect of this game is that the students at Ohio University are home for winter break. That means that this senior day game will be in front of a small crowd and their will be no home field advantage. Temple will have the advantage in this game. Their defense is to strong for Ohio and Temple will own the time of possession. I see a hard fought game but in the end i see Temple winning.
Score: Temple 24-17
