Temple should have a major edge in the crowd, as UCLA had to wait an extra week before they even knew that they were going bowling. UCLA went just 6-6 in a weak PAC-10 this season and was hit hard by injuries yet again. Jonathan Franklin leads UCLA in rushing and has just under 600 yards on the season. RB Bernard Pierce is probable for the Owls and he had a remarkable season averaging 5.8 yards per carry and rushed close to 1350. UCLA is favored because of their name recognition but Temple can line-up toe to toe with them. This game means a lot for to Temple and it will show come Tuesday, as the Owls win this game straight-up and getting points is just the icing on the cake.
