THE DUKE SPORTS
Temple Under (45) for 1.5 Units
Temple/Mia OH 7:00: Both of these teams are dealing with injuries to key offensive personnel. Temple's potent backfield of Brown and Pierce are hobbling into this one off a physical battle vs Ohio last week. And Miami Ohio's backup QB Boucher, who managed the game well at winless Akron last week, will face his toughest test against the conference's best pass defense. The Redhawks' run game is sputtering at 2.7 yards per carry and shouldn't keep the Owls' from bringing pass blitzes routinely on the inexperienced Boucher, who's filling in for Dysert (spleen). Miami Ohio's defense has been respectable at home this season, and they've nutted up over their last three games allowing just 15 ppg. Temple has had trouble under Golden in the last road game of the season and should experience offensive woes tonight. Miami Ohio is on an 0-6 O/U run and sports an 8-17 O/U mark off an ATS loss. The Owls, which are on a 3-7 O/U run, are 1-4 O/U in their last 5 road games. Decent value with the "under" here.
