The Tulane Green Wave are set to visit Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an AAC clash against the Temple Owls. The Tulane Green Wave come into this matchup with a 6-3 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes, 38-26. Senior QB Justin McMillian struggled to get much offense generated through the air as he threw for 184 yards, 1 TD, and 2 interceptions, but he had a strong game on the ground as he ran for 73 yards and 3 TDs. Junior RB Stephon Huderson had a big game on the ground for the Green Wave as he ran for 100 yards on 7 carries.

The Tulane Green Wave struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes as they allowed them to score 26 points and rack up a total of 398 yards of offense. Senior safety Chase Kuerschen led the way for the Tulane defense with 7 tackles. The secondary had a productive game for the Green Wave as senior safety P.J. Hall contributed 5 tackles and 5 pass deflections while junior CB Jaylon Monroe pitched in 6 tackles and 1 pass deflection.

The Temple Owls come into this matchup with a 6-3 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the USF Bulls, 17-7. Junior QB Anthony Russo struggled to get much offense generated through the air for the Owls as he connected on 15 of his 21 pass attempts for 164 yards and 1 interception. Senior RB Jager Gardner had a big game on the ground for Temple as he ran for 133 yards on 25 carries.

The Temple Owls were good on the defensive side of the ball against the USF Bulls as they held them to 7 points and a total of 286 yards of offense. Junior DE Quincy Roche led the way for the Temple defense with 6 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks, and 1 pass deflection. The Owls were able to get into the USF backfield a handful of times as senior DE Zack Mesday contributed 2 TFL and 1 sack while senior DE Dana Levine pitched in 1.5 TFL and 1.5 sacks.

The Tulane Green Wave have struggled on the defensive side of the ball as of recent as they have allowed a combined 114 points in 3 games, and that should give an inconsistent Temple offense some confidence heading into this game. The Temple Owls were able to get back to their brand of football against USF as they were very good on the defensive side of the ball and they pounded the USF Bulls with the run. Tulane will look to establish their ground game as they have an abundance of running backs who can get the job done, but Temple has one of the best front 7s in the group of 5. Temple will force Justin McMillian into passing situations, and that has not favored the Tulane offense this season. Final Score Prediction, Temple Owls win and cover ATS 24-21.
