Penn State football prepares for road game against Temple at Lincoln Financial Field

Penn State football travels to Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday to face Temple in the team's first road game of the 2026 season. Head coach Matt Campbell noted the potential for increased involvement from the team's tight end group, which includes Andrew Rappleyea, Ben Brahmer, and Gabe Burkle. Burkle is expected to make his season debut following an ACL injury sustained in 2025. The Nittany Lion defense looks to apply pressure against Temple's inexperienced quarterbacks and an offensive line that has faced injury issues. Temple aims to utilize running back Keveun Mason, who previously gained significant yardage against Rhode Island. Penn State enters the matchup following a season-opening performance that relied on ground-game adjustments in the second half.
