Temple was just one vote away from their university dumping the football program. Now, coach Al Golden has turned this program around from being the laughing stock of college football to a legit contender in the MAC Conference. After a 6-6 season, UCLA will have to travel approximately 3000 miles. The Bruins, the last team to earn a bowl birth, have an extremely weak offense and will be without their starting center which will have them shuffling their offensive lineup once again. They probably won't enjoy the travel too well and are probably satisfied enough to just get a bowl bid and make a little bit of money for the school. The meaning and purpose of this game is like night and day. This is arguably the biggest thing to happen to Temple in years, while UCLA enters the matchup embarrassed and uninspired as a team. Take the Owls.
