The Penn State Nittany Lions and Maryland Terrapins have played 42 football games against each other. In 39 of these match ups the Nittany Lions have come out on top. Combine this with the two schools being in bordering states and how well the Nittany Lions recruit the DMV and it is easy to see why Maryland fans dislike the Nittany Lions.
Each team is coming off a bye week heading into Friday night’s clash in front of what is expected to be a record crowd at Byrd Stadium. The Nittany Lions will be looking to remain undefeated, while Maryland is looking to bounce back from being upset by Temple their last time out and to climb back into the top 25 with a win.
