The State CollegeThe 2024 regular season is coming to a close with Penn State and Maryland playing.
At 3:30 p.m., Beaver Stadium will host the Nittany Lions and Terrapins matchup, which will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.
If everything else goes according to plan, Penn State, who is 10-1 and ranked No. 4 in the AP Poll and the College Football Playoff standings, will set up the Lions for a home playoff game. Following its 12:00 kickoff, fans will undoubtedly be watching the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. Penn State might earn a trip to the Big Ten Championship game if the Wolverines pull off the significant upset victory over the Buckeyes.
With just one Big Ten victory and a 4-7 overall record, Maryland has had a terrible season. Billy Edwards, the starting quarterback, may or may not play, and the Terps are unsure of his appearance if he does. That’s important because, with 289.6 passing yards per game, the Terps lead the Big Ten despite Maryland’s difficulties. With 1,097 yards, wide receiver Tai Felton leads the conference.
All evening, keep an eye out for updates and notes.
UPDATES FOR PREGAME
-At the half, Ohio State and Michigan are knotted 10–10. #CloseGameWatch is going strong. UPDATE: As we enter the fourth quarter, the teams are still deadlocked.
According to the Big Ten availability report, Penn State will once more be without cornerback Elliot Washington II. Kaden Saunders, a wide receiver and punt returner, is also sidelined, so the former four-star won’t see any offensive action during the regular season. Harrison Wallace III, the starting wideout, is uncertain. UPDATE: Wallace did not warm up with the first team, despite being in uniform and named a starter during the video introductions.
-Billy Edwards Jr., the quarterback for Maryland, is in doubt. Prior to kickoff, he did not warm up with the quarterbacks for Maryland.
