Temple Owls

In September 2015, Penn State was coming off an embarrassing loss to Temple in Philadelphia, a game that you saw mentioned a lot in this past week. Well, just like this year, the Nittany Lions came back home to take on MAC opponent Buffalo for a Noon kick at Beaver Stadium. That’s the subject of […]

The 2015 Boca Raton Bowl matchup is on at the Glass Bowl.

Sep. 16—LINCOLN, Neb. — One of Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule's early stops in his coaching career was at Western Carolina, an FCS program. Rhule was Temple's offensive coordinator when the program suffered a 27-24 loss to Villanova, an FCS program, in 2009. Andrew Marshall and Jamir Conn, two starting defensive backs for Nebraska, began their careers in the FCS. The Cornhuskers head coach ...

Penn State beat Temple and had some Big Ten juggernauts lose last weekend, however, it wasn’t enough to move up on the Football Power Index.

You know the drill here. Random thoughts during my Penn State/Temple rewatch. 1. What a start to the game. Koby Howard just DUSTING the Temple secondary for a shot play to open us up. Surely, this was going to be a sign of things to come for the offense… 2. Well, maybe not. 3. I […]

Looking at what Penn State did against the Temple Owls on Saturday in Philadelphia, winning 27-9, it's fair to say there's a lot left to be desired.

The Nittany Lions improved to 2-0 but left Philadelphia with questions.

What we saw and heard during and after the Nittany Lions' 27-9 victory over the Owls.

PHILADELPHIA – Grading the Penn State football team on its 27-9 win over Temple Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field: Quarterbacks B: Rocco Becht looked flustered on two early red zone drives before finishing the game strong. He’s fourth in the nation in pass efficiency. Running backs B: Carson Hansen ran effectively after a slow start, but James Peoples was the most productive back with 42 ...

So, how does one try to grade a game where the final result was fairly comfortable, but the beginning was shaky? Let’s find out! Quarterback: B+ Rocco Becht got off to a rough start, completing only 1 of his first 4 passes (with that one being a beautiful 56-yard bomb to Koby Howard) and seemed […]

Penn State’s first road game of the Matt Campbell era did not take long to test the patience created by a 45-point season-opening win. No.

1) Slow start The early-game jitters we expected a week ago showed up on the road against Temple. Two early miscues, a missed field goal and a dropped touchdown pass by Chase Sowell, had Penn State wasted two red zone drives to start the game, leading to a closer-than-anticipated 10-3 first half. They did settle […]

RIP Matt Suhey–AndOthersReceivingVotes Playing in Philly, I am very worried about Temple having the home field advantage. Should I put this one on “upset alert”??–Lion241 I know you’re being mostly facetious, but college football can be super unpredictable. This isn’t the Temple of 2015 and Matt Rhule (or even the Temple of Al Golden), but […]

Following a dominating win over Marshall, the Penn State Nittany Lions move on to game 2 against the Temple Owls on the road. How does the staff see this one playing out? Chris If there was one issue in the first game against Marshall, it was a lack of explosiveness in the run game. I […]

Penn State has a very interesting game coming up on Saturday against Temple. As the Nittany Lions look to go 2-0 to start their season, there's really not much of a reason why they shouldn't win this game, to say the least.

The problems at QB run deep for Michigan, plus what to expect in Texas-Ohio State and other Week 2 games.

Forty-nine players on Penn State’s 2025 football roster wound up transferring after the firing of James Franklin as coach last October. The first one to leave the team was former Exeter standout Joey Schlaffer, who is now at Temple. It wasn’t an easy decision for Schlaffer, who dreamed about playing at Penn State but who saw action in only seven games in three seasons there. “I just wanted to ...
