Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs. Temple Owls Betting Analysis
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Tulsa has lost three games in a row ahead of this weekend’s NCAAF matchup. Tulsa lost to Cincinnati and Ole Miss during the last few weeks in addition to their loss against Navy.
This season, the Golden Hurricane defense has allowed more than 30 points in all but one of their games. Navy’s 53 points in Tulsa’s last game was the most points Navy has scored this season. During that game, the Golden Hurricane allowed 490 yards of offense which included 455 rushing yards.
Earlier this season, Tulsa defeated both Northern Illinois and Jacksonville State. They scored more than 35 points in each of those games, including 54 points against Jacksonville State.
The Golden Hurricane allows 38.8 points per game this season, the eighth-most in the NCAA. One reason for that has been due to the amount of rushing yards Tulsa allows per game, 246, which is the 128th best in the country.
Davis Brin Analysis
Quarterback Davis Brin has completed 60.8% of his passes this season for 1,839 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
His 14 touchdowns are tied for the 29th most in the NCAA, and Brin currently has the 23rd most passing yards in college football.
Brin has already played well so far this season, but he has the potential to improve in both college football standings in each statistical category. His season so far could have an impact on how Tulsa vs. Temple betting is approached.
Temple Owls

Owls’ Offense
Temple’s offense averages 14.7 points per game, which is currently the 128th-best in the NCAA. However, the Owls have had to play two Power Five opponents so far already this season, in addition to one of the best NCAAF teams in their conference, UCF.
E.J Warner
E.J. Warner has started all but two of Temple’s games this season. D’Wan Mathis started the first two games of the season, but during the Owls’ game against Lafayette Warner began to play more often.
Warner, who is the son of former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl Champion Kurt Warner, is a freshman.
Despite that, Warner has already thrown for 1,040 yards in his first four starts as Temple’s quarterback. He has completed 56.2% of his passes while throwing six touchdowns and six interceptions.
Temple’s Defense
Temple’s defense allows 64.2 points per game this season, 64th best in the NCAA. Before last weekend’s game against UCF, in which the defense allowed 70 points, the Owls had allowed 28 points or less in three straight games.
