Penn State vs Temple with History | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State returns to Philly with a 23.5-point spread against Temple, seeking redemption from a 2015 loss so intense the players buried the film—now assistant coach Jordan Lucas calls it cathartic. Ranked 16th after a clean, efficient win over Marshall, Penn State’s offense thrives with Rocco Becht leading the charge while stifling defenses. But history and intrigue loom: James Franklin faces his former school for the first time since 2016, while Temple’s offensive line battles injuries and juggles two quarterbacks—with four ex-Nittany Lions now suiting up for the Owls. Despite Penn State’s dominance in the all-time series, that 2015 upset looms large. Saturday’s noon ESPN2 showdown promises fireworks—and maybe a few surprises.
