Maryland football entered this past week with a chance to pick up a statement win in College Park over No. 22 Penn State.
The Terps were able to keep it close, tying it 14-14 early in the fourth quarter. However, poor defense down the stretch and costly turnovers in the red zone put this game out of reach for Maryland.
Maryland took the loss by a final score of 31-14, but the game really was much closer than it looked. Penn State’s star wide receiver Jahan Dotson had a legendary performance, breaking the Penn State single-game receiving yards record with 242 yards and three touchdowns on 11 receptions.
