Expectations are high for Penn State this year, but the season didn’t get off to a good start. Penn State visited Temple this past Saturday and left with its tail between its legs. Penn State returned 4 starters along the offensive line while adding JUCO star LT Paris Palmer. This trifecta was expected to put last year’s nightmare behind them.
