Maryland started off the season strong with a win over Texas, but things have gone straight downhill from there. They are now on their third string quarterback, and have lost seven games this season. This should certainly be a help to the struggling Penn State defense, who let up 44 points to Nebraska last Saturday.

This will be the last regular season college game for several Nittany Lion players, and I fully expect them to come out and perform as well as we have seen all year. Expect Trace McSorely, Saquon Barkley, and the rest of the Nittany Lions to be way too much for the Terrapins to handle, as Penn State will score 50 points for the second straight week.

A blowout at Maryland will clinch a second straight 10 win season for the Nittany Lions, and will likely clinch a berth to a New Year’s Six bowl.
