Penn State Football … and Maryland’s biggest keys to victory

Penn State Football Wins If…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Penn State Football and running the ball has not exactly gone well this year.
Penn State Football has struggled to get any impact from the #lawnboyz, despite the backfield appearing to be a strength coming into the year.
Let’s look at their stats thus far:
Noah Cain — 83 carries, 258 yards, 3.1 yards per carry, long of 34 and 4 touchdowns
Keyvone Lee — 48 carries, 237 yards, 4.9 yards per carry, long of 44 and 1 touchdown
John Lovett — 41 carries, 136 yards, 3.3 yards per carry, long of 18 and 0 touchdowns
Sean Clifford (QB) — 56 carries, 134 yards, 2.4 yards per carry, long of 43 and 2 touchdowns
Devyn Ford — 11 carries, 50 yards, 4.5 yards per carry, long of 12 and 0 touchdowns
Ta’Quan Roberson (QB) — 12 carries, 24 yards, 2.0 yards per carry, long of 10 and 0 touchdowns
Cazaiah Holmes — 2 carries, 12 yards, 6.0 yards per carry, long of 9 and 0 touchdowns
Jahan Dotson (WR) — 4 carries, 8 yards, 2.0 yards per carry, long of 7 and 1 touchdown
Yikes.
That’s ugly.
It’s time for Penn State Football to figure this out.
So, Penn State wins if they get 100 yards from the RB position. We’re not counting Clifford (or Roberson) scrambles, it needs to be a handoff to the running back.
