Maryland football vs. Penn State preview: A trip to Happy valley

Less than 48 hours after its come-from-behind win over Minnesota, Maryland football was back in practice looking forward.

The next key step for this Maryland program is competitively battling with the upper-tier of teams within its division of the Big Ten. Last season, many thought the Terps may have turned the corner heading into its Friday Night Lights against Penn State, but a 59-0 result flattened the program and kicked off a somber stretch to end the season.

This Maryland team does present a different challenge though. Penn State, which ranks in the middle or bottom of the pack in the Big Ten in most statistical categories, has not been overly impressive to start the season with its first 0-2 start since 2012.
