STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Evan Royster ran for 134 yards and a touchdown, and No. 5 Penn State revived its rushing attack in a 31-6 win today over Temple.

Royster had 119 yards by halftime, including the 7-yard scoring run that gave the Nittany Lions a 14-3 lead late in the second quarter. Daryll Clark threw for 167 yards and two scores as Penn State won its 27th straight against its in-state rival.

While run blocking improved, coach Joe Paterno's squad put on an otherwise uninspiring performance against another overmatched nonconference foe. Clark didn't look sharp at times and endured several big hits from Temple defenders.

With two field goals, Temple scored more points against Penn State than in the three previous games combined.
