Philadelphia, PA
-----

One thing is certain after today, and its that Penn State is not as good as we first thought. After barely escaping a win against Wake Forest in overtime, fans were put on their heels. Well the heels are gone after yesterday's game, and fans are wondering where the team goes from here. The 11th ranked Nittany Lions could not get any ground game going, and 2 INT's from Hackenburg, one in the final minute, proved to be too costly.

Last year Penn State defeated Temple 20-17. Some fans are now left wondering whether or not this will impact the recruiting. Penn State is now right back where it was last year, an unranked team. Both Michigan State, who was 7th, and Penn State, who was 11th, have fell out of the AP 25. Penn State is the 3rd highest team receiving votes right now. Michigan State suffered a 29-30 loss against UNLV.

Temple's run game was very affective throughout the whole game, and 120+ yards of rushing allowed them to control the ball and the clock most of the game.

Penn State will desperately try to get back on the right track when they take on Florida Atlantic (0-2) this weekend at home.
