"I just felt like we needed to try to end the game on our terms, with the ball in our hand," Penn State coach James Franklin said after the game, via 247Sports. "Give them a ton of credit, they did a good job of producing yards and finding a way. Their field goal kicker was back to the guy from last year.

"He won the kicking award in the Big Ten last year, started out the season a little bit rocky, but was kicking the ball very, very well tonight. And the second half of the season, he's been kicking it well. So I just felt like we needed to be aggressive and end the game on our terms, with the ball in our hands."

Penn State is led by Drew Allar who has thrown for 2,497 yards, 17 TDs and five interceptions. Kayton Allen has rushed for 664 yards and five TDs and Tyler Warren has 910 receiving yards and five TDs.

The Nittany Lions' goal for this game is to just win and stay healthy. They will be in the College Football Playoff and host a playoff game.

Expect Penn State to get an early lead and likely rest Allar and other key starters in the second half, which will allow Maryland to cover.
