UAB vs Temple Prediction
I’ll lean toward Temple in this one, but to be honest there’s not a lot to get excited about here. The Owls are coming off yet another loss, falling by seven points on the road versus Navy. Temple posted just 218 total yards, nine first downs, two turnovers and a 4-of-12 success rate on third downs. The defense gave up a whopping 495 yards on the other side but did hold strong on third downs (4-of-14) and had a couple of takeaways. The Owls only held the ball for 19:14 of game time but still managed to make things interesting after falling behind 28-0 in the first half.
As for UAB, they were able to notch a late surge in a win versus a struggling Charlotte team last weekend. The Blazers ended up gaining 319 total yards with 21 first downs and a 5-of-11 success rate on third downs but did have four turnovers (three picks) in the victory. UAB held the Niners to just 10 first downs and 4-of-17 on third downs along the way. This is another winnable game for them if all goes well, but I think Temple can hang around if they play to their capabilities.
