How to watch Penn State-Maryland; pregame info, weather, spread, start time, more: Gameday Central
No. 4 Penn State football celebrates Senior Day today when it hosts Maryland. The 10-1 Nittany Lions are an enormous favorite over the 4-7 Terrapins, who don’t yet know who they will start at quarterback. First-teamer Billy Edwards Jr., is dealing with injuries, which could push backup MJ Morris into the top role under center today.
“We’re mathematically eliminated from being able to go to a bowl game but we do have standards in our program, and one of those standards is how you finish things,” Terrapins coach Mike Locksley said this week. “e like to bring it to a close the right way. Talked about something about how to finish, how you finish looking out seeing the yard perfectly raked and then just having a little sense of pride. And so, you know, a great opportunity against a team that has…playoff opportunities, championship game implications, and great opportunity, a way to finish your career in going up to Penn State.”
