The most anticipated Maryland football game of the season thus far will take place in two days. In a Friday night game under the lights, the Terps will welcome No. 12-ranked Penn State.
The spotlight may have been brighter had Maryland entered the week with a top-25 ranking of its own, but hopes of that were squashed with a loss to Temple 11 days ago. Regardless, primetime games don’t come the Terps’ way very often, and Friday’s game is gearing to be an exciting one.
That is, of course, if Maryland can buck the trend that has plagued it in recent years.
