Tulsa (2-4, 0-2 AAC) has dropped three straight games heading into tonight's matchup, last getting housed by Navy in a 53-21 blowout loss two weeks ago. The Golden Hurricane held possession for just under 20 minutes of game time as the Midshipmen ate up the clock and option'd their defense into dust. Wide receiver Keylon Stokes was a difference maker, catching seven passes for 152 yards and a touchdown.

Temple (2-4, 0-2 AAC) got absolutely demolished by UCF last Thursday night in a 70-13 beating in Orlando. The Owls trailed by one early in the second quarter before the Knights ripped off 56 unanswered points, scoring a touchdown on every drive except their last when they ran out the clock. Wide receiver Jose Barbon had eight grabs for 111 yards and a touchdown in the loss.
