Twitter is always a fun place, or a dangerous place, to find instant reactions from fans in real time. And after th first half of Penn State’s games, Twitter was full of negativity and pessimism with Penn State clinging to a 7-6 lead at Maryland. So how did fans react to the game after Penn State pulled away with some big plays to score a 31-14 victory at Maryland?
As you might expect, there were some more positive vibes after the game from Penn State Twitter, although a few fans can’t help but enjoy a win it seems.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Penn State win over Maryland, starting with this little bit of incoherent stream of consciousness…

Jahan Dotson had a monster game, setting the school record for most receiving yards in a single game. Some fans loved it, and may have gone too far in establishing just where Dotson ranks in the history of college football’s top wide receivers, but who are we to rain on the parade?
BEST WR IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!! #WEARE https://t.co/VxBeKDCTxN

It may not have been pretty, but some fans are finding an optimistic way of shedding some perspective on the entirety of the season to this point.
Happy for the young men on the PSU football team. 3 losses by 14 points. Critics can be so irrational.

And some others took another spin on things…
Look, I love Penn State. And a win is a win. But this team has way too much talent to let Maryland hang around that long. Do I expect too much? Maybe.

Refs tried so hard to let Maryland make it interesting on that last drive. Sorry it didn’t work out for them. #PennState #PennStateFootball

Some fans still are not fans of how Maryland suits up for games…
My mom watching the Penn State/Maryland game: “Ew, Maryland has ugly outfits.” Yes, she called uniforms outfits lol

How did a Maryland fan react to the game? By looking back fondly on a previous regime, of which Franklin was a small part of once upon a time…
