Penn State Vs. Temple: Have The Owls Got A Shot?

SB Nation’s Hustle Belt previews Saturday’s Penn State-Temple tilt:

You want to pick Temple. You need to pick Temple. Penn State's offense does not have much going for it. They struggled to post 24 points against Kent State, and the Owls' defense is slightly better than that. Now add in a Big Ten-style offense — run, run, run, SERPRIZE PASS, clutch field goal — and you just might see Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown keep up with the Joe Paterno Speedwagon. If you want the Al Golden-to-Penn State rumors to fly and flutter as the season progresses, you need to pick Temple. But if you want to be right... Guess: Penn State 20, Temple 16
