Temple vs. UTSA updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday

Temple will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-field advantage. They will take on the UTSA Roadrunners at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

There was early excitement for Temple after they claimed the first score on Thursday, but it was Tulsa who ended up claiming the real prize. Temple ended up on the wrong side of a painful 48-26 walloping at their hands. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for they in their matchups with Tulsa: they've now lost three in a row.

Despite the defeat, Temple had strong showings from E.J. Warner, who threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns, and Amad Anderson Jr., who picked up 75 receiving yards.

The Owls weren't very productive on the ground and finished the game with only 44 rushing yards. They were crushed by their opponents in that department as Tulsa rushed for 289.

Meanwhile, UTSA's 11-2 record from last season has become a distant memory after another unsuccessful outing. They were completely outmatched by Tennessee on the road and fell 45-14. UTSA was in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 31-0.

Temple's status as the underdog is well-deserved: they've lost three of their last four contests. Admittedly, the team was facing some tough opposition over that stretch, including 4-0 Miami (FL). UTSA's defeat last Saturday dropped their record down to 1-3.

In addition to losing their last games, the pair failed to cover the spread. Looking ahead, UTSA shouldn't be too worried about this matchup, as the experts have them favored by 13.5 points. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last four times they've played.
