Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Maryland Terrapins Preview
Penn State remains home this week to play a Big Ten game against the Maryland Terrapins.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a tough victory over Minnesota last week and remain home to face the undefeated Terrapins. Penn State battled back after being down late and defeated the Golden Gophers in overtime. The win was the first in the Big Ten this season for the Nittany Lions.
Game Info:
Maryland has been putting up huge numbers under first-year coach DJ Durkin and enters the contest with the Nittany Lions 4-0. The Terrapins are averaging 43 points a game and just put up 50 against Purdue last week.
Because of the fact that Maryland is one of the top rushing teams in the league, the Nittany Lions could be in for a long day. Injuries on defense, particularly at linebacker, has caused Penn State to struggle against the run.
The Nittany Lion offense could have a tough time against a Maryland defense that has allowed just 14.5 points a game.
Maryland pulled off an upset victory when they last visited Happy Valley in 2015. Last season the Nittany Lions were victorious in a thrilling game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Overall, Penn State has dominated the series with Maryland, holding an all-time record of 36-2-1.
