Penn State Takes Commanding Lead In Win Over Temple

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rocco Becht expected to get cheered on by hundreds of fans from the Philadelphia suburbs and other surrounding areas where most of his family and their friends are from.  The Penn State quarterback was a bit more amazed at the other 40,000-plus fans in their blue-and-white gear that nearly filled an NFL stadium to root on the Nittany Lions.  “When I first walked out into the stadium, there’s a lot more people than I thought there was going to be for our side,” Becht said. “We wanted to put on a better show for them.”  Becht threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns, with two of those scores to tight end Benjamin Brahmer, in a game where No. 16 Penn State did just enough to send the traveling fans home happy with a 27-9 victory over Temple on Saturday.  The Nittany Lions (2-0) survived a first half loaded with failed shots at the end zone and a missed field goal that kept the score close and stirred memories of one of the program’s great losses against an unranked team when former Temple coach Matt Rhule led the Owls to the upset victory in 2105 at Lincoln Financial Field.
