Penn State at Temple

There has been one constant over the years at Penn State - this has almost always been a defense-first team. So much so that the Nittany Lions have allowed a stingy 17.9 points per game in their last 428 games! It is hard to imagine this Temple team even getting to 17, as these clubs have met 25 times, with Penn State 25-0 SU, allowing fewer than 10 points per game vs. the Owls. The Owls allowed just 17.5 points per game last year, and should be strong once again on that side of the ball. Not only does Penn Stave have a strong defensive historical resume, but it starts early, as they own a 36-16 mark to the UNDER in their last 52 September games. Temple has turned in a 6-1 mark to the UNDER vs. the Big-10 and a September UNDER run of 11-4 of their own. This one stays UNDER.
