2008 Week 3

Temple would kick off to Buffalo to start this game, and they would drive down to their own half of the field before questionably going for it on 4th and 1, and Drew Willy would hit James Starks out of th backfield, but Starks couldnt' stay inbounds, giving the ball back to Temple. Temple would go 3 and out, and Buffalo would get another decent drive going before being forced into 4th and 13. Instead of punting, Coach Turner Gill dialed up a fake punt (? Is that why Nebraska didn't hire him?) that was stopped after a 4 yard run.

The ensuing drive for the Owls would run into the second quarter, and would end with a 1 yard TD run for Marcellous Grigsby. Drew Willy would make a big mistake on his first pass of the next possesion, as he connected with Temple DT Andre Neblett, who had dropped into a QB Spy giving Neblett likely his first interception of his career. The next drive would again be capped off with a short Grigsby TD run, giving Temple a 14-0 lead. The Bulls would go 3 and out on their next drive, having lost all momentum and rhythm. Temple would get one last TD on the board before the half as Adam DiMichelle would hit Jared Williams for a 6 yard TD pass to make the halftime score 21-0.

Temple would get the ball to start the second half and really move the ball down the field methodically. But DiMichelle would throw and interception in the redzone to LB Justin Winters. Temple would get it back on the next possesion as SS George Coleman would pick off Willy.

The Temple drive after the INT would stall out on the 1, but Brownell would come in and make the 19 yard field goal, to make it 24-0 with 6:23 left. From there I supersimmed the rest of the game because I had to go to work. Each team would get another score and Temple would get the win 31-6.
