Penn State vs Maryland Game Preview


Why Penn State Will Win

Maryland doesn’t run well. It hasn’t hit 100 yards in any of the last four games, and that means the offense has to bomb away to have any shot. That goes right into the teeth of the Penn State defense.

The Nittany Lion pass D should be terrific. The secondary has a ton of talent, the pass rush should be good enough, and it all should work with a whole bunch of plays in the backfield.

Maryland is 5-0 when it throws for over 300 yards, and 0-3 when it doesn’t get there. Penn State has only given up over 200 yards three times and over 300 yards once. CJ Stroud and Ohio State got to 305 passing yards last week, and that was a strain.

If Taulia Tagovailoa has to throw and throw some more to get that many yards, the picks will eventually follow.

Why Maryland Will Win

The Penn State running game has been a struggle.

It hasn’t hit 100 yards in five of the eight games, it only got to 200 yards against Villanova and Ball State, and relying on a consistent passing game with this attack is a concern.

The Maryland defense hasn’t been anything special, but it has a good enough pass rush to be a bother and it should be just effective enough to help control the clock.

The Terp offense doesn’t grind, but it should be able to own the time of possession battle against the quick-paced Penn State attack.

Maryland wouldn’t mind making this a bit of an up-and-down shootout, but …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

On a three-game losing streak, Penn State should finally be able to settle in a bit and play a relatively comfortable game.

The D shouldn’t have anything to worry about against the Maryland ground attack, and the offensive side should be able to hit the midrange plays just enough to keep everything moving.

Maryland is good against the mediocre and awful against the good teams. Penn State is a good team.

Why Maryland Will Win

Do the Terps have an offense now?

They couldn’t have been more inept in the opening loss against Northwestern, and they couldn’t have been more unstoppable in the finishing kick in the win over Minnesota.

QB Taulia Tagovailoa was brilliant against the Gophers, completing 74% of his passes for 394 yards and three scores with 59 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and Jake Funk rumbled for 221 yards and a score.

They’re not going to do that against the Penn State defense, but at least there’s hope now. They showed the potential that the offense could be a problem in games like this.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why Penn State Will Win

It’s not like the Terps stopped the Gophers until the fourth quarter.

They were rumbled over by Mo Ibrahim and the Minnesota ground attack, and that’s after giving up 325 rushing yards to Northwestern. They’re dead last in the Big Ten in total defense – and even after the win last week, dead last in total offense, too – with no run D and an inability to avoid giving up long drives – again, until late against Minnesota.

Penn State might have a thin group of running backs, but Sean Clifford can run, the ground game should be able to push no matter what, and the offense will blow past the 400-yard mark overall.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Maryland is nowhere near as bad as it was against Northwestern, and it was nowhere near as good as it looked late against Minnesota, and it’s about to look more Northwestern-game-like against a desperate Penn State team that’s about to go on a roll. It’ll be the Nittany Lions’ sharpest game yet.
