Boston College absorbed their first loss of the season last week at the hands of Purdue, and it wasn't close in a 30-13 contest. Their vaunted running game led by A.J. Dillon was limited to 85 yards on 34 carries. Temple got off to a slow start with unexpected losses to Villanova and Buffalo, but have rallied back to win two straight vs. Tulsa, and a huge upset as a 16-point underdog at Maryland. If you slow down the BC running game you have a good chance to be playing for a win down the stretch. The Owls have allowed just 643 rushing yards on 175 attempts this season, which is just 3.67 yards per carry. They certainly have defended well, allowing fewer than 20 points in three of their four games, and have what it takes to slow down Dillon and the BC running attack which proved lethal last week. Grab the points and play on Temple.
