Penn State trounced the Temple Owls in this early season meeting, which took place back in Giant Stadium. It was the second time Penn State played a game there in four weeks (defeating USC in week 1). Wally Richardson had the offense humming, with a good balance between the run and pass. Curtis Enis and Aaron Harris took turns burning the Owls in the ground game while Richardson often looked for his tight ends in the pass game. Defensively, the Lions were great, pitching a shutout for the second consecutive game. They got after the Temple quarterback in a big way and caused a few turnovers. Penn State's Top Performers: Curtis Enis: 14 carries, 91 yards, TD Brandon Noble: 3 quarterback sacks Aaron Harris: 2 rushing TDs Penn State sits at 4-0 after this win over Temple. The Owls had a record of 1-3, and finished 1996 without winning another game for a 1-11 mark.
