PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Temple fans faced a roadblock of strong-armed security and metal gates preventing them from storming the field.
No problem.
With a milestone win to celebrate, the Owls rushed toward the stands to cheer, sing, and whoop it up in a postgame party seven decades in the making. Nothing was going to stop them from singing the school's fight song all night long.
Temple finally had its time.
P.J. Walker scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter to rally Temple to a 27-10 win over Penn State on Saturday. It was Temple's first win over the Nittany Lions in 74 years.
