This years EagleBank Bowl features the UCLA Bruins(6-6) and the Temple Owls(9-3),who return to the bowl scene after a 30 year absence . Temple is led by true freshman RB Bernard Pierce who rushed for over 1300 yards in only eight games. UCLA will head to the east coast for a bowl game for the first time ever. Rick Nueheisel's offense is a work in progress with no major standouts. The Bruins have played a much more formidable schedule than the Owls, 40th in the nation as compared to 115th for Temple. I believe that will be the difference here. If the Bruins can contain Pierce, they effectively shut down the Owl offense as their passing game has been ineffective. If Pierce runs wild, things will get more interesting than the Bruins would like. I feel UCLA will be up to the task and eventually wear down the Owls.
Take UCLA -4.5
