Tulsa at Temple Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Tulsa started the new season with a 38-27 victory at home against Central Arkansas, but it could not cover as 11.5-point favorites. It did play Texas tough in Week 2 in a 28-21 loss as 22.5-point road underdogs before last Saturday's disappointing 29-20 loss to Arkansas State as a slight 1.5-point home favorite. The total stayed UNDER in its previous two games, and it has stayed UNDER in four of its last five games on the road.

<p>
It is hard to know what to make of this mixed bag heading into the Golden Hurricane's conference opener. Luke Skipper has thrown for 521 yards and four touchdowns, and he also threw a pick-six in Saturday's loss. Tulsa is averaging 26.3 points per game, but it falls to 86th in the nation in points allowed (28.0). The biggest strength of this team is a run game that is averaging 210.0 yards per game.

Temple quickly jump-started its season with Saturday’s stunning 35-14 upset against Maryland on the road as a 15-point underdog. This followed bad losses to Villanova and Buffalo as a home favorite. The Owls are 14-7 straight-up in their last 21 home games, but they have failed to cover against the spread in four of their previous five games at home.
</p>
<p>
Credit Temple’s defense for Saturday’s win against the previously unbeaten Terrapins. The Owls took a 21-7 lead into halftime never let up from there. Anthony Russo got the start at quarterback and completed 15 of his 25 passing attempts for 228 yards and a score, while the ground game totaled up 165 rushing yards and two more touchdowns on 52 attempts. Ryquell Armstead is the team’s leading rusher on the year with 256 yards on 54 carries.
