The Nittany Lions finished up their non-conference slate Saturday against the Temple Owls.  Let’s hand out some position grades.

Penn State hosted Temple on Saturday and came away with a close victory, 34-27.  It wasn’t always pretty but a win is a win. The offense once again looked explosive at times, but still couldn’t get away from some mistakes.

There are a slew of injuries, especially on defense, ailing the Nittany Lions. Aside from guys who were already out prior to the game, there were some significant injuries that occurred during the game.  Still, they played through it all and came away with a win and a little revenge against Temple.

Entering Big Ten play next week, the Nittany Lions will have to work on some things to get better.  The have a tough opening conference game in the Big House at Michigan.

However there were many positives and improvements to bring away from this game and we’ll break them down in the grades.  Let’s get to it.

Feel free to leave comments and let us know how you would grade out the win.
