Does not having your best offensive player and defensive player make that much difference?

Temple losing against Redsucks now in the fourth quarter. The announcers for the game keep reminding us that their two best players are not on the field. Is that why Temple looks so bad?

It's been a bad week for Golden boy Al and the not so golden Owls: Two beat downs by real MAC opponents, two injured players, two accused rapists, and Joe Pa not retiring. Ouch!

I wonder how much effect the rape investigation had on Temps. In 2006, the Dispatch ran a story about the trouble some OU players had gotten into; it was very critical of Solich's team discipline. It just happened to come out the morning of the BG game. The team could not stink up Peden enough that day. Maybe something similar is going on with Temps. (Of course afterwards the Cats got the Bunker Mentality and won 7 in a row.)

Temple won't win 7 in a row to finish this season.

I would say that Temple looked that bad because they quit. Why did they quit? Two missed opportunities to win a title and media types reminding them constantly of the the loss of their two "best" players. As the Solich example illustrates, we're still dealing with young men and fragile egos here.
The Cats are the best evidence that losing top players is not fatal. The inability of the staff to make the players believe that might be.

They totally quit... new reports on the rape say now that a second woman has come forward saying that one of the players accused raped her too...
This all dropped just as they were getting on the plane... No excuse though.
