Penn State to Face Oregon in Big Ten Title Game After OSU's Stunning Loss to Michigan

Penn State will be playing Oregon for the Big Ten title.

The Nittany Lions cruised to a 44-7 win over visiting Maryland on Saturday night to secure a spot in the conference championship game.

Whichever team wins next Sunday in Indianapolis will receive a spot in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.

The win marks the first time since 2016 that Penn State has qualified for the Big Ten championship game and the second time under head coach James Franklin.

After fumbling on the first play of the game and allowing Maryland to take an early lead, Penn State rebounded with touchdowns on four consecutive drives in the first half.
