This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on Temple.
The Owls have a new coach and a bunch of new faces. The Irish went 3-9 last year. When these teams met in 2015, Notre Dame came away with the 24-20 victory.
Temple: Geoff Collins takes over as head coach for the Owls and he inherits a team which returns only ten starters, including just four on the defensive side. QB duties now fall to Anthony Russo, who does have six of his top seven ball carriers back. The Owls dominated defensively last year and are expected to take a huge step back with so many new faces. The defensive line is the weak point, but the secondary is still expected to be pretty decent.
Notre Dame: 15 starters are back, so Brian Kelly's team will obviously be better than it was last year. QB Brandon Wimbush is being predicted by some to be better than DeShone Kizer. The run game returns Josh Adams, who had 933 yards and five TD's. last year. The offense would go on to average 30.9 PPG last season and should once again near that mark this time around. The defense allowed 27.8 PPG and with just six starters returning, we think the book is still out on the unit.
The bottom line: We aren't calling for an outright upset, but we think that Collins will have his new team ready to compete. Grab as many points as you can, play on TEMPLE.
