Penn State extended their 71-year winning streak against Temple in a sea of blue on Saturday. Here are some of the observations I took away from the stands.
Before looking ahead to Big Ten play and discussing Illinois, we are shifting our focus for a day to check out how some former Penn State Nittany Lions are performing in the National Football League. Yesterday was a particularly good day for Penn State as Sean Lee, Paul Posluszny, and Bryan Scott all recorded key interceptions in big victories.
Sleep easy Penn State fans -- reports are coming in that NCAA President Mark Emmert is happy with Penn State's response to the sanctions so far.
Four weeks of Division I Football have now passed, meaning that most non-conference and cupcake games are now finished. This now means that inner-league matches will commence. While this is great news for some, those first four games are actually detrimental in measuring the strength of other teams and conferences as a whole. The Big Ten was 33-13 in non-conference games which may not seem bad on paper, but is actually underwhelming.
Unlike the past two meetings against Temple, the Nittany Lions never trailed today as Matt McGloin and a strong defensive effort contributed to a 24-13 victory.. While the final score did not reflect it, this felt like one of those Penn State -Temple games from five years ago that the Nittany Lions controlled most of the way.
Good afternoon from Beaver Stadium where the Penn State Nittany Lions (1-2) are set to host the Temple Owls (1-1). The Owls are led by Steve Addazio who is in his second year coaching the program.
