Technically speaking, UCSB has struggled on the road coming off a SU win notching a dismal 36-54 ATS record. In this role battling a non-conference foe, the Gauchos are a poor 2-17 SU and 4-15 ATS. Overall, Cal Santa Barbara has lost 22 of its last 25 as a guest (7-16-1 ATS) including a woeful 0-9 SU And 1-8 ATS coming off a SU victory.
The Bulldogs have played well at home this year posting double-digit wins over Oregon State, Northridge State and Norfolk State. Here comes home win AND cover No. 4. Take FRESNO STATE. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.
