With Evan Royster running for a touchdown and catching another, Penn State defeated Syracuse 28-7 Saturday afternoon.

The running back finished with 41 yards rushing and 61 yards receiving.

Royster turned a short throw into a 49-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive, and added a 12-yard scoring run to give the Nittany Lions a 14-0 lead in the second quarter.

Syracuse unsuccessfully tried to throw off the Nittany Lions' defense, at times alternating starter Greg Paulus and backup Ryan Nassib at quarterback.

Paulus, the former Duke basketball player, finished 14 of 20 for 105 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

The Nittany Lions will take on Temple at noon next Saturday, September 19th.
