W 27-9 at Temple · Sat, Sep 12 · 2-0 overall
Misery Index · Meh · ▲ from 2
A 27-9 win at Temple still left them yelling at announcers and flashing back to Hackenberg sacks.
The emotional rollercoaster
Penn State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Penn State went to Temple and won 27-9, moved to 2-0, and somehow the misery index climbed from zero to 53. That is the Penn State experience in a sentence: a comfortable road win that still felt like a chore. The turning point was less a play than the broadcast itself, with one fan snapping that "this announcer wants QBs to die with that rule change." Elsewhere, someone was recalling exactly where they stood when Christian Hackenberg got sacked on a two-man rush. Winning hasn't healed anything.
