Preview
The Temple Owls will head out on the road to face off against the UAB Blazers at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Protective Stadium. Temple is hoping to put an end to a nine-game streak of away losses dating back to last season.
Last Saturday, Temple was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 27-23 to South Florida.
E.J. Warner put forth a good effort for the losing side as he threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns. Warner is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played.
Even if they lost, Temple's defense sure didn't make it easy: South Florida's QB was sacked six times before it was all said and done. Tra Thomas was especially locked on to South Florida's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored UAB last Saturday, but the final result did not. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 31-6 punch to the gut against Navy. Having soared to a lofty 45 points in the game before, UAB's point total in this one was quite the letdown.
The losses dropped both teams to an identical 3-7.
Not only did Temple and UAB lose their last games, but neither team managed to cover the spread. As for their next game, UAB is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 7.5 points. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Temple is playing as the underdog, but their 2-6 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
