⚡ CFB Dashboard

- Pick/market: Dietrich is starting again today for Bucknell against Villanova.

- Pick/market: Based on how they wrapped up pregame warmups I'm guessing it's less than 50-50 that Sam Brown plays.

- Temple retained every eligible starter and every position coach from K.C. Keeler's first season, giving the Owls unusual roster and staff continuity entering the opener. - New quarterbacks Jaxon Smolik and Ajani Sheppard are expected to split duties, leaving quarterback rotation and passing efficiency as Temple's clearest offensive uncertainty. - Temple's defensive line has seven newcomers but could rotate 10 players against a Rhode Island offensive line replacing three or four starters, with starting guard Damon McMillian seen on crutches after the Rams' opener. - The matchup is not a routine FCS spot for Temple's offense: Rhode Island returns an experienced, multiple-front defense that ranked in the FCS top 25 in total, scoring, and red-zone defense last season.

- Injury: Temple will host Rhode Island on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.

- Pick/market: The Scoop: S12, E5 - Previewing the season opener and the QB decision We'll tell you everything you need to know about Temple's 2 p.m.

- QB: Need to contain QB and cover #1.

- QB/WR: I give a pass on the first half, against a team that already played a game.

- Intel: He has a history of rescuing/developing quarterbacks, so while we fret about QBs without an FBS start, I'm not as worried as I might be with some other coach.

- Pick/market: RI will be without their starting QB again.

- OL/LB: We'll probably touch on this on The Scoop this week when it comes to the depth chart.

- LB/KICKER: Ed Foley must be coaching special teams at Gtech...missed chip shot and and blocked field goal at the end.

- Intel: If someone throws six touchdown passes tomorrow, they have the job.

- LB: According to Paul Palmer, this is why the video was made and it will be played sometime before kickoff.
