Our PSU correspondent Alison writes in with her report from Happy Valley.
In
a relatively uneventful game, Penn State fans finally saw improvement
from the offensive line and the running game in Penn State’s 31-6
win over Temple. Evan Royster had a big game, running for 138 yards
and one TD, all on the day where his #22 jersey, shared with Heisman
Trophy winner John Cappelletti, was the most worn by fans in the crowd.
The theme at Beaver Stadium was favorite jersey day and the top 10 jerseys
were revealed at halftime. I sported #31 for Paul Posluszny which came
in the top 5. Daryll Clark’s #17 came in 2nd, and Derrick
Williams’ #2 at 3rd.

The defense looked good again, preventing Temple from getting into the end
zone and allowing just 2 field goals. Sean Lee went out in the 4th
quarter holding his knee, but apparently it’s not a serious injury.
He should be on the field next week along with Navarro Bowman returning
from his groin injury. Josh Hull had another good game with a career
high 13 tackles.
The Nittany Lion team on the field yesterday didn’t look like national
title contenders, but hopefully that team will show up in the vengeance
game against Iowa on Saturday night. With a white-out in the stands,
I’m expecting a more intense crowd to come out for the Lions’ first
real test. And I sure won’t miss those noon kickoffs.
