Key Player Matchups
QB E.J. Warner (Temple) vs. GT Secondary
Warner’s accuracy is Temple’s best chance to keep pace; Georgia Tech’s DBs have been opportunistic.
RB Darvon Hubbard (Temple) vs. GT Front Seven
If healthy, Hubbard provides balance; GT linebackers must contain him.
QB Haynes King (GT) vs. Temple Pass Rush
King has been efficient and mobile; Temple must pressure him to avoid being carved up.
WR Dominick Blaylock (GT) vs. Temple Corners
If Blaylock plays, he’s a mismatch; Temple’s secondary depth is already thin.
