Preview: Penn State at Maryland

Penn State (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) will make its first visit to the Maryland campus since 1993 when it takes on the Terrapins at Maryland Stadium on Saturday.

The Nittany Lions, ranked No. 10 by the College Football Playoff selection committee and No. 12 by the Associated Press, need to win to reach double-digit victories in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2008-09. They are coming off a 56-44 victory over Nebraska, a game in which they rolled up a season-high 609 yards of offense.

The Terrapins (4-7, 2-6) are coming off a 17-7 loss at Michigan State, their sixth defeat in their last seven games. They have had injury issues with their quarterbacks this season. Sophomore Max Bortenschlager is the likely starter; he's one of four players who have started at quarterback this season.
