What Time Is Penn State vs. Temple and What Channel?
Noon ET on ESPN2. Note the venue: Temple hosts at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles’ stadium, not on campus.
A Road Game That Feels Like a Home Game
Penn State’s alumni base in Philadelphia is enormous, and a noon kickoff at the Linc against Temple typically produces a crowd that leans heavily blue and white. Temple is technically the home team, but the atmosphere rarely reflects that.
Both teams are 1-0. Penn State is rebuilding with a large transfer class this season, and games like this are where a new group finds rhythm before conference play.
The Bottom Line
Noon ET Saturday on ESPN2 in Philadelphia. Penn State should win handily in what amounts to a neutral or friendly building.
