EAGLE BANK BOWL
UCLA vs. Temple
UCLA won its first three games before going 3-6 the rest of the way. The Bruins only three conference wins came against three of the Pac-10’s worst teams in Washington, Washington State and Arizona State. It was that late season three-game winning streak that got them into this Bowl game. Any success the Bruins are going to have in this game will likely have to come from their defense. Their fans are hoping they can benefit from a step down in class against a MAC opponent. Bruins went 4-1 ATS as favorites but 2-5 ATS as underdogs this season. Bruins were searching for a new HC two years ago, they gave Temple HC Al Golden, a long look. But they chose Rick Neuheisel. Neuheisel guided UCLA to 10-14 record over two seasons, Golden finished leading Owls to first winning season since 1990.
