Penn State Still Has Temple's Number

Filed under: Penn State, TempleSTATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The idea, not just around Temple's program but in many pockets around college football, was that this would be the year the Owls finally took their in-state rivals down.

It was a good idea, but only that. Temple, which last defeated Penn State in 1941, led the Nittany Lions 13-6 in Beaver Stadium Saturday afternoon, but eventually was worn down and defeated, 22-13, for its first loss of the season. It also was the 28th straight loss to Penn State by Temple (3-1), including five straight under head coach Al Golden, who played for and coached under Joe Paterno.

The 23rd-ranked Nittany Lions (3-1) finally went ahead late in the third quarter on Collin Wagner's fifth field goal, then marched 96 yards for a game-clinching fourth-quarter touchdown, a one-yard run by sophomore Michael Zordich.
