Temple DB targets revenge vs. former team Penn State

Penn State and Temple are set to reignite their football series this weekend, with their last matchup occurring in 2016. Although Penn State has largely dominated their 45 previous meetings, Temple's defense features a player with intimate knowledge of their opponent. Safety Kolin Dinkins, who previously played for Penn State, is expected to bring a heightened intensity to the game. Dinkins, having seen limited action during his tenure in State College, carries a strong motivation to prove himself against his former team. His recent performance against Rhode Island, with three tackles, indicates a heightened level of play. Dinkins' athletic ability and physicality, particularly his skill against the run, pose a potential challenge for the Nittany Lions, who struggled in that area recently. The Temple coaching staff must account for Dinkins to prevent him from disrupting their game plan.
