A Temple defender on Saturday vs Penn State showed that he’d probably be a good addition to the school’s track team.

The Temple Owls are taking on the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday in Happy Valley and things aren’t going so well as they’re getting blown off the field currently in the fourth quarter. However, if anything, the school may have found a new track star to compete in the hurdles.

Penn State was lined up for a field goal attempt late in the game, so naturally if you’re a Temple defender, you want to try to get an advantage on the block. Well one Temple defender gave his best effort for this cause, but unfortunately he was offsides.

Despite being offsides, though, he provided one of the highlight plays of the game from either team as he just completely hurdled over the Penn State front line.


Hey, at least he tried, right?

That was definitely the highlight of the game for the Owls on what has otherwise just been a really bad day against their in-state Pennsylvania rival in the Nittany Lions.
