Penn State football has the opportunity to secure a spot in the Big Ten title game by defeating Maryland today. The Nittany Lions can thank Michigan for upsetting Ohio State on Saturday, which puts them in position to earn a conference championship spot with a victory over the Terrapins. If Penn State wins, they will have an 11-1 record and earn the tiebreaker over Indiana for the right to face Oregon in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis on Saturday. The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS.
Despite Penn State being a heavy 24.5-point favorite over Maryland, they may be without starting receiver Trey Wallace. The Terrapins are expected to start backup MJ Morris in place of injured first-teamer Billy Edwards. Penn State is aiming for their first trip to the conference title game since 2016 and looking for their second win at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Lions have historically dominated the series against Maryland, holding a 43-3-1 all-time record.
The live updates for the Penn State-Maryland game, including scores, stats, and more, can be found on various platforms. The kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., with the game being televised on the Big Ten Network. Weather conditions are expected to be cold but dry, with a high of 28F and winds at 10 to 20 mph. Penn State fans are anticipating a victory, with predictions favoring the Lions to win by a considerable margin.
