Maryland football’s season is over, finishing 5-7 overall and 3-6 in Big Ten play after a 38-3 loss to Penn State on Saturday. The Terps will miss the postseason for the second straight year, falling a win short of bowl eligibility.
In the finale, the Terps surrendered two first-quarter touchdowns and went into halftime facing a 17-3 deficit. Penn State added a score immediately after Tre Watson was ejected for targeting and Maryland couldn’t respond. Maryland’s only promising drive of the second half ended in a missed field goal from Joseph Petrino, and Penn State scored twice more in the fourth quarter from there.
