STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Trailing by 10 points with seven minutes, 20 seconds remaining, the Owls had a chance to make one final push Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College.
Senior quarterback Phillip Walker completed a comeback route to junior receiver Adonis Jennings on the sideline on 4th-and-8, then followed with two more completions to put Temple just outside Penn State’s red zone. Then the Owls started moving backwards.
A false start on senior offensive lineman Dion Dawkins and a sack two plays later eventually led to a field goal by junior kicker Austin Jones with 2:10 left in the game.
