The Big Ten on Monday announced the kickoff times for the final week of the 2024 regular season including Penn State's senior day matchup against the Maryland Terrapins.
For a third straight week, Penn State will have a 3:30 p.m. kickoff, but instead of being featured on CBS, they'll be featured on the Big Ten Network.
The Nittany Lions enter the penultimate week of the regular season with a 9-1 record and 6-1 in Big Ten play, tied for third in the conference only behind No. 1 Oregon, No. 5 Indiana, and No. 2 Ohio State. All four teams are on track to make the College Football Playoffs this postseason.
Maryland is 4-6 as they enter their second to last game of the season this Saturday against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Terrapins have struggled mightily in conference play with a 1-6 record, their lone win in conference play coming over USC on October 29. They have lost three straight games since that win to Minnesota (48-23), Oregon (39-18), and Rutgers (31-17).
Penn State has dominated its series against Maryland with a 34-3-1 record including winning eight of their last 10, outscoring the Terrapins 382-134 in that period. In a three-game stretch from 2017 through 2019, the Nittany Lions were particularly dominant winning all three games by a combined 163-6.
Last season, the Nittany Lions defeated Maryland 51-15 behind 240 passing yards and four touchdowns from Drew allar as well as a 91-yard day for Kaytron Allen on the ground. The Nittany Lions used a 27-point fourth quarter to turn a 24-7 lead into a blowout.
Before turning their attention to Maryland, Penn State will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers this weekend in Minneapolis. The Nittany Lions are a two-touchdown favorite over the 6-4 Golden Gophers.
