Temple-Penn State to be on ESPN?


Yesterday, I explained how the Temple-Penn State series had been extended for another five seasons. With Temple quickly becoming known around the college football world, there will certainly be a lot more opportunities to prove themselves. One way they can do this will be a possible date with Penn State on the ESPN network.

It is rumored that the upcoming Temple vs. Penn State game on September 25 will be televised on one of the ESPN stations.

According to the Penn State Examiner's official twitter page:

"Heard this: #PSU - #Temple will be aired on an ESPN network, a Temple source tells me. Could be announced this week. /Buster Olney."

For a team like Temple, who has played behind the scenes for nearly two decades, the opportunity to gain some exposure through ESPN is one they can’t pass up. If you haven’t seen it yet, Temple’s sophomore running back, Bernard Pierce, appeared on ESPN’s First Take a few days ago.

The overall media attention for Temple is higher then it’s ever been, and for Temple fans, we can finally get some good coverage of one of the nation’s up-and-coming teams.
