Penn State and Temple maintain a long history of football competition

Penn State and Temple prepare for their 46th all-time meeting this Saturday. The two programs have a historical connection spanning back to the early 1930s, though Penn State has dominated the series since before World War II. The last time the two teams met was in September 2016 at Beaver Stadium, where Penn State secured a victory following a late 55-yard touchdown run by Saquon Barkley. Temple, then led by Matt Rhule, nearly narrowed the gap late in the game after trailing 21-10 at halftime. While Temple ultimately won the American Conference title that year, the 2016 matchup remains a notable chapter in the series. Penn State continues its tradition of hosting the Owls as they move forward into the current college football season.
