Penn State vs Temple Rivalry Revisited | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

This Saturday marks the 46th showdown between Penn State and Temple, a rivalry where Penn State has dominated since before WWII—losing just once in over 70 years. The last meeting? A thrilling 2016 clash where Trace McSorley led Penn State’s offense, Chris Godwin shined with big catches, and Saquon Barkley sealed it with a 55-yard TD run.

Meanwhile, Temple, despite the loss, surged to seven straight wins and a conference crown under Matt Rhule, who’d soon launch his own coaching ascent.
