Congrats to Temple on beating long-time rival Penn State for the first time since 1941.

Not to diminish the Owls' excellent home win, but Penn State was shockingly inept.

The Owls don't have much time to celebrate as they travel to Cincinnati to face the offensively-loaded Bearcats.

Not only does Cincinnati feature an outstanding passing attack headed by quarterback Gunner Kiel, but they have several excellent runners who unlike last season are fully healthy.

The Bearcats won their last seven regular season games last season, all by eight points or more. They opened their season in style burying Alabama A&M, 52-10, at renovated Nippert Stadium.

Cincinnati stays home while Temple has to travel off a week of celebrating the victory over Penn State. This is an important American Athletic Conference game for the Bearcats, who are on the road in three of their next four games. Cincinnati is 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven ACC contests.

No one doubts Cincinnati's outstanding offense. The key for the Bearcats is defensive improvement. Cincinnati looks improved there especially with its run defense. Temple does not have a strong offense. The Owls put up 27 points on Penn State. But in their previous seven games, the Owls averaged just 12.2 points per game.

The spot and matchup set up well for Cincinnati.
