Temple still looking to break through against Penn State
Temple hasn't beaten Penn State since 1941, but that hasn't been much comfort for the Nittany Lions lately. In 2010, Penn State outscored the Owls by a slim 22-13 margin at Beaver Stadium. Last season, the Lions needed a heroic fourth-quarter drive to avoid an upset in a 14-10 win in Philadelphia.

With that in mind, coach Bill O'Brien is trying to keep his team focused on the present threat.

A Running Start
When Silas Redd transferred from Penn State to Southern California over the summer, many wondered what effect the move would have on the Nittany Lions' running game.

Staying Strong
Stephon Morris had his mind pretty close to made up. "I'm very passionate about football. I love this game," Morris said. "But last year I didn't, after the season, I really didn't have...I don't know. It just wasn't there. I wasn't going to be here."

The rising senior cornerback grew frustrated with his role at Penn State.

Nittany Lions prepare for Virginia
When Penn State travels to face Virginia on Saturday, a former walk-on quarterback will lineup behind center and likely hand off to a former walk-on running back. And if Penn State's season opener against Ohio was any indication, a former walk-on tight end could be getting some looks in the passing game, too.

With that in mind, coach Bill O'Brien thinks it's probably time to change their moniker.
