Closer Than You Think
How is this for an even bowl matchup: UCLA ranks No. 88 in the country in total offense at 339.33 yards per game, while Temple ranks No. 89 at 337.75.
The Owls have the defensive edge, though, by two. Temple ranks No. 36 in total defense, allowing 335.67 yards per game, while the Bruins check in at No. 38, giving up 338.33 yards per game.
The teams are tied in turnover margin at positive-.42 per game.
There seems to be a teensy-weensy difference in strength of schedule though, right? (Sagarin: UCLA-11, Temple -114)
