Opponent Watch: Parliamentary Edition

September 10, 2015 by IrishElvis

Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame’s strength of schedule (from USA Today‘s Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I’ll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you’re not watching Notre Dame Football.

Who(!) To Watch

Fresh off their opening week win over Penn State, Temple flies to Cincinnati in week two. QB P.J. Walker was efficient winging the ball around the field last week (despite what his surname may imply), and Owl be curious how this Temple defense does against former Notre Dame quarterback Gunner Kiel, who’s now helming the ship in the Queen City.

The Bearcats will try to break Coach Matt Rhule’s squad, but this coaching staff looks to hatch another winning gameplan, time will talon if they’ll be successful.
