STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- James Franklin hoped all week his team would start fast and play with the passion it hadnt yet found early in games this season.The usually subdued coach pushed the right buttons.Before Penn States 34-27 win over Temple on Saturday, Franklin hopped around inside Beaver Stadiums limestone-lined tunnel, trading shoves and screams with a handful of players before they took the field.Its cool seeing coach Franklin get so pumped up, wide receiver Chris Godwin said. Hes a fiery guy, hes very passionate about what he does and that kind of leaks into our locker room seeing your leader as excited about the game as we are.Trace McSorley completed 18 of 24 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and rushed for another as Penn States offense scored on three of its first five drives. Penn State (2-1) didnt let up despite losing its best player on the first play of the game.Star running back Saquon Barkley hobbled off the field favoring his left leg but was able to return for the second half.By then, the Nittany Lions needed him.The Owls (1-2) trailed 21-10 at halftime but took advantage of a handful of Penn State miscues in the second half.Delvon Randall intercepted a McSorley pass and returned it deep into Penn State territory to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Phillip Walker. Two drives later, Temple took possession deep in Penn States territory when a punt bounced off of Nittany Lion gunner Amani Oruwariye. Jahad Thomas scored his second touchdown of the day three plays later to cut Penn States lead to 27-24 with 8:10 left.Barkley took it from there. He burst up the middle, used two stutter-steps to make defenders miss and outran Temple defensive backs for a 55-yard score.I didnt stay up last night thinking about Im going to shove them and push them to start fast, Franklin said. Its just kind of what I did, trying to have some fun with them, trying to loosen them up. I think we did start out better.PASS HAPPY VALLEYMcSorleys 52-yard dart to Chris Godwin, who ran a post route through soft spot in Temples zone showed that the feisty quarterback is more than just a player who will succeed with his legs and the short passing game.McSorley often stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure to spread the ball around. He hit seven different players and showed off his willingness to throw deep on a sideline ball to 6-foot-6 Mike Gesicki, who made a nice one-handed grab.DEPTH TESTEDThe Nittany Lions entered the game without five starters. Linebackers Jason Cabinda and Brandon Bell, wideout Saeed Blacknall, cornerback Grant Haley and defensive end Evan Schwan all were out with injuries.It forced the Nittany Lions to play sophomores Jake Cooper and Manny Bowen and seldom-used junior Brandon Smith for most of the game. They were mostly effective, holding Temple to just 38 rushing yards.THE TAKEAWAYTEMPLE: The Temple defense, so good a year ago, is still a work in progress. The Owls are still searching for playmakers after losing seven starters from that group. They gave up 403 yards with 253 in the first half.PENN STATE: It was a must-win for Franklin, whose short tenure at Penn State hit its lowest point after the Owls routed his Nittany Lions in last season in Philadelphia.UP NEXTTEMPLE: The Owls host Charlotte at Lincoln Financial Field.PENN STATE: The Nittany Lions travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan to begin the Big Ten season against the Wolverines.

Kent 451 (Stevens 81, Gidman 75*) and 14 for 0 beat Worcestershire 211 and 251 (Rhodes 55, Stevens 3-31) by 10 wicketsScorecard Kent dented Worcestershires promotion tilt by mopping up the visitors last four wickets in barely an hour and knocking off the 12 runs required to clinch a 10-wicket win in their Specsavers County Championship match.The marquees - bursting and busy for the first three days of the 165th Canterbury Cricket Week encounter - stood empty and silent, all bar the CAMRA real ale tent where a gaggle of happy and hardy Kentish supporters applauded their sides deserved victory, wrapped up with more than two sessions to spare.Having dismissed Daryl Mitchells side for 251 second-time around, Kent openers Sean Dickson and Daniel Bell-Drummond needed only six minutes to knock off the runs to inflict a second defeat of the summer upon Worcestershire.Resuming on their parlous overnight score of 213 for 6 - an overall match deficit of 27 runs - the Midlanders were soon even deeper in trouble.Kent started making inroads as early as the 15th ball of the day when Matt Coles, having just taken the second new ball, struck with his fifth ball of the day.Pushing defensively at one just outside off stump, Ben Cox (39) found a thick outside edge for James Tredwell to claim a comfortable catch at second slip with the visitors still 20 runs in arrears.Without addition to the total Joe Leach (3) sparred at one from Darren Stevens to nick behind and give Sam Billings his eighth catch of the match.Stevens struck again with Worcestershire still six runs in arrears. Having played and missed at one that clipped his front pad, Kyle Abbott lifted his back foot during a half-hearted lbw appeal allowing Sam Billings to whip off the bails for a gift stumping. Billings became the tenth Kent keeper to claim nine dismissals in a match.Ed Barnard struck out lustily to move his side into an 11-run lead before his sliced drive against Stevens flew to Will Gidman at short third man to end the Woorcestershire innings soon after noon.dddddddddddd Stevens finished with 3 for 31, while Gidman and Tredwell bagged two apiece as Kent banked 23 points for their third win of the summer. Worcestershire went home with only four points.Having enjoyed runs and wickets on his home championship debut for Kent, Gidman, the on-loan Nottinghamshire allrounder said: To get those two second-innings wickets with a slightly older ball and just as Worcestershire were forming a decent partnership was really pleasing. On the whole Im delighted with the way the bowling has gone since coming here.I got slightly lucky with the first wicket. The lad George Rhodes was playing really well, but he started batting way out of his crease and, when I bowled him a really full one, he ended up yorking himself. Then, against Daryl Mitchell, that was one that moved back up the him and hit him full in front.Id have loved to have scored a hundred, but batting at No8 its the last thing youre really expecting. Im more thankful that Tredders, Colesy and Mitch hung around as long as they did and, in the context of the match, formed some vital partnerships with me.Worcestershires head coach said the defeat was simply a blip in an otherwise excellent season for his side. Kent played really well and the fact that we were a little under par was mainly due to the fact that Kent played some really good stuff over the four days. On this performance theyre becoming a very good side.Brett DOliveira will come back in but it wont be a case of wholesale changes just because weve lost one match. Sport is all about winning and losing and I don;t know many teams who just keep winning all of the time. Sometimes these lads deserve another chance to get themselves into some better form and weve played plenty of good cricket already this season to know that were capable of producing better than this.
