Dark Year: Maryland 35, Penn State 19

After losses to Indiana and Ohio State, the disaster season continues for Penn State as the Nittany Lions got blown out by Maryland 35-19.

Let’s be clear from the start: Maryland is not a good team. This is not me trying to troll. They played incredibly well today, and credit to them for what has to be their most satisfying victory in some time. But the Terrapins are a mediocre team, and yet, Penn State got absolutely worked by them. The Nittany Lions — from James Franklin as the head coach to Sean Clifford as the quarterback — got absolutely out-coached and outplayed against a team that it should never happen against.
