Coastal Carolina Has Impressed
Coastal Carolina has impressed heading into this game, and they currently sit with a 2-0 lead. Coastal Carolina faced off against Jacksonville State in the first game, and they were able to secure a 55-27 victory. In the last game against William & Mary, Coastal Carolina scored 40 points, and they ended up winning by 19 points. Even though they won in the last game, the quarterback plays weren’t all that great.
Ethan Vasko completed 8 of his 23 passes for 160 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The running game was good and Christian Washington finished with 16 carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Cameron Wright did catch three passes for 39 yards. In this game, the offense is going to need to have a huge game again.
Long Year for Temple?
It looks like it could be a very long year for Temple and they have lost each of the first two games. In the first game against Oklahoma, Temple was defeated 51-3 and in the last game against Navy, it was much of the same as they were defeated 38-11. Under center for Temple was Forrest Brock and he completed 30 of his 46 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
It wasn’t a balanced offense and Antwain Littleton II finished with nine carries for 22 yards. In this game, they are going to need to find a way to have a more balanced attack. If they can’t get any sort of offense going, this is going to be a very long game. The defense also will need to slow down Coastal Carolina.
Temple vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
This Temple defense is awful, and that is very bad news going against Coastal Carolina. Temple’s offense has also been inconsistent and they are going to struggle to get any sort of offense going here. Look for Coastal Carolina to pull away early here and the game is going to get out of hand early. Coastal Carolina is going to cruise here to the victory. Back Coastal Carolina against the spread here.
