The Temple Owls were praised as Pennsylvania’s football team by Corky Blake over at lehighvalleylive.com. His logic has more to do with the players on the team and their potential for success than the team’s past wins and losses.

An excerpt:

“Al Golden’s doing a masterful job rebuilding the Temple program. What I like about the Owls is they are tapping into the Lehigh Valley for talent, which is more than we can say about Penn State.”

Good stuff. Now the Owls just need to prove themselves Sept. 19, when they play that most visible of Pa. teams, Penn State.
