Temple, Penn State Extend Series

The undefeated Temple Owls are set to take on the Penn State Nittany Lions (2-1) this Saturday, but before the game begins, word broke out that the season series will continue for another three years.

The series will carry into 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons.

Currently, Penn State and Temple are in the midst of a seven year series that began in 2006, and will end in 2012. That means there will be a one year gap in 2013 in which Temple won't play Penn State.

The overall series has consisted of 39 games between the two inner state rivals. However, Temple has been on the short end of the stick in nearly all 39 games. They have won a dismal three games out of those 39 meetings.

Since Joe Paterno has taken over at Penn State (which was forever ago), the Nittany Lions are a perfect 25-0 against the Owls.

The last time Penn State lost to Temple was in 1943 when the Owls won 13-0.

Hopefully, Temple can find a way to get their fourth win of the season, as well as their fourth win ever against Penn State, when the two teams meet this Saturday.
