No. 4 Penn State runs away from Maryland, into Big Ten title game

No. 4 Penn State tripped out of the gates, then lapped visiting Maryland for a 38-7 victory Saturday in State College, Pa.

Win No. 11 on the season sends the one-loss Nittany Lions to Indianapolis for the Big Ten conference championship game to challenge No. 1 Oregon in Indianapolis next Saturday.

Penn State running back Nick Singleton scored two touchdowns and Tyler Warren, the Nittany Lions’ record-setting tight end, had another game for the books.

After trailing 7-3 at the end of the first quarter, the Nittany Lions (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) found overdrive in the second quarter, scoring four touchdowns before halftime.

Quarterback Drew Allar’s desperate toss behind the line of scrimmage to his left found Warren, who hurdled one tackler, busted through another and kept driving for what registered as a 29-yard run to set up PSU’s third rushing touchdown in a span of barely six minutes to give the Nittany Lions a 24-7 lead with 6:53 left in the half.

Penn State wasn’t done, with Warren catching a 7-yard scoring pass from Allar to make it 31-7 with 1:46 left in the second quarter.

In all, the Nittany Lions scored the game’s final 44 points after spotting the Terrapins an early 7-0 lead.

Allar plowed for a 1-yard touchdown with 10:11 on the clock in the second quarter to make it 17-7, Beau Pribula jogged in from 6 yards out a few ticks under the seven-minute mark, then Penn State took the ball right back. Audavion Collins intercepted MJ Morris to set up Allar’s TD pass to Warren — the tight end’s 17th career touchdown reception (a school record for the position).

Moments after Happy Valley erupted in celebration of the Michigan upset at Ohio State, Maryland took the air out of the stadium.

Maryland forced a fumble on Penn State’s opening play and the Terrapins scored a touchdown on their first offensive snap — a 25-yard pass from Morris to Kaden Prather — to claim a 7-0 lead.

Warren set the Big Ten career record for receptions by a tight end with a catch in the first quarter, which was his 15th gain of 20-plus yards in 2024. The same 13-play drive ended with Penn State’s first touchdown of the game, Singleton’s 2-yard plunge off left guard two minutes into the second quarter. Singleton later broke through for an 18-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Pribula rounded out the scoring with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Tyseer Denmark on the game’s final play.

Morris was intercepted three times.

Kyle Monangai scores twice in return as Rutgers tops Maryland

Kyle Monangai rushed for two touchdowns and Athan Kaliakmanis tossed for two scores Saturday as Rutgers secured bowl eligibility with a 31-17 win over Maryland in College Park, Md.

Monangai scored from 2 and 6 yards out, the latter giving the Scarlet Knights a 21-17 lead with 5:14 left in the third quarter. He finished with 97 yards on 25 carries after missing last week’s game with an undisclosed injury.

Kaliakmanis completed 20 of 30 throws for 238 yards for Rutgers (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten), which clinched bowl eligibility in consecutive seasons for the first time since making four straight bowls from 2011-14.

Billy Edwards Jr. went 32-of-55 for 335 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Roman Hemby tallied 87 rushing yards and a score as the Terrapins lost their third straight game. Maryland (4-6, 1-6) must win its last two games to make a fourth straight bowl.

The Scarlet Knights seized control after Hemby’s 1-yard run slid the Terrapins ahead 17-14 early in the second half. Monangai’s second score put Rutgers back in front, and Dymere Miller’s 32-yard catch on the first play of the fourth quarter extended the lead to 28-17.

Miller finished with eight receptions for 107 yards, both game-highs.

Jordan Thompson intercepted Edwards at the Scarlet Knights’ 28-yard line on Maryland’s next possession, and Jai Patel drilled a 46-yard field goal to make it 31-17 with 9:53 left. Rutgers’ defense notched fourth-down stops on the Terrapins’ next two drives to seal the victory.

Maryland converted 3 of 6 fourth downs overall, while the Scarlet Knights finished 3-for-3.

Jack Howes’ 48-yard field goal with 2:01 left in the first quarter put Maryland up 3-0. Rutgers responded with a 17-play, 75-yard drive that lasted almost nine minutes and ended with Kaliakmanis’ 12-yard touchdown pass to Ian Strong.

Edwards hit Tai Felton for a 12-yard score on Maryland’s next possession for a 10-7 lead. The Scarlet Knights answered again, this time on Monangai’s 2-yard run to swing Rutgers ahead 14-10 with 1:01 remaining in the first half.

Max Brosmer (4 TDs) leads Minnesota’s attack vs. Maryland

Max Brosmer threw four touchdown passes to propel Minnesota to a 48-23 romp over Maryland in the Golden Gophers’ homecoming game on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Justin Walley added a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown as Minnesota (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) won its third straight, all in the conference.

Brosmer completed 26 of 33 passes for 320 yards without an interception. His touchdown and yardage totals were his most in a Golden Gophers uniform after transferring this year from New Hampshire.

Minnesota’s Daniel Jackson caught nine passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Elijah Spencer added six receptions for 99 yards and two more scores.

Darius Taylor had a 51-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter for Minnesota and finished with 115 yards rushing and receiving on 20 touches.

The Minnesota defense stymied Maryland quarterback Billy Edwards Jr., who entered with the second-most passing yards of any quarterback in the Big Ten.

Edwards finished with 19 completions in 35 attempts for 201 yards with two interceptions. In the final minute of the first half, Edwards scored on a touchdown run for Maryland (4-4, 1-4), which has lost three of its last four games.

Coming off a bye, Minnesota was sharp from the start. The Golden Gophers scored on their first two possessions and when Walley dashed up the sideline for his pick-six, it provided a 21-0 lead before the game was 11 minutes old.

Brosmer was working against an injury-riddled Maryland secondary, which was further depleted in the first quarter when Judah Jenkins was ejected for targeting as he made a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jackson.

Meanwhile, Minnesota’s defensive backfield thrived. Koi Perich returned his fifth interception of the season 45 yards to set up a 40-yard field goal by Dragan Kesich, which gave the Golden Gophers a 24-0 lead early in the second quarter.

Kesich’s second field goal, a 34-yarder with two seconds left in the first half, gave Minnesota a 34-10 lead at the break.

The Golden Gophers scored on the first possession of the second half, needing five plays to traverse 75 yards. Brosmer capped the drive with a 25-yard pass to Spencer in the back corner of the end zone.

In relief of Edwards in the fourth quarter, MJ Morris completed 7 of 8 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

Maryland’s Tai Felton, who entered as the Big Ten leader in receptions, had nine catches for 104 yards.

Maryland scores late to hand USC another close loss in Big Ten

Billy Edwards Jr. went 39-of-50 passing for 373 yards with two touchdowns and rushed for the game-winning score in the final minute as Maryland edged Southern California 29-28 on Saturday in College Park, Md.

Maryland (4-3, 1-3 Big Ten) took possession for its decisive drive when Donnell Brown sprang up to block Michael Lantz’s 41-yard field-goal attempt, which would have put USC ahead by two possessions with under two minutes remaining.

A wild sequence on the return, including a Quashon Fuller lateral to Ruben Hyppolite, set the Terrapins offense up at midfield.

Edwards made savvy plays under pressure, including a shovel pass while under duress and then his successful 3-yard scramble to the end zone with 57 seconds left in regulation. Edwards fooled the USC defense with a zone-read hand-off fake to running back Roman Hemby. Jack Howes’ extra-point was good for 29-28.

The Trojans (3-4, 1-4) could not muster a scoring drive in the remaining seconds in suffering their fourth one-possession loss in league play.

Hemby scored a 10-yard touchdown earlier in the fourth quarter as Maryland cut a two-touchdown deficit down to 28-22. Edwards then converted a two-point try with his pass to Kaden Prather with 9:56 left in regulation.

USC moved the ball into Maryland territory on all four of its fourth-quarter possessions but only scored on the first when Miller Moss threw the third of his three touchdown passes. This one was a 26-yarder to Duce Robinson, with Moss’ other scoring passes going 15 yards to Ja’Kobi Lane and 22 yards to Kyron Hudson.

Moss finished the game 34 of 50 for 336 yards, but his one interception was pivotal. Lavain Scruggs picked off Moss midway through the third quarter with USC ahead 21-7 and driving to go ahead by three scores.

Scruggs’ ensuing 51-yard return led to Edwards’ 18-yard touchdown pass to Tai Felton on the very next snap, injecting life into the Terps for their strong finish. Felton matched Prather with a team-high nine receptions and had 84 yards. Prather totaled 111 yards.

Makai Lemon led USC with eight receptions for 89 yards. Woody Marks rushed for 82 yards on 17 carries in the loss.

Maryland’s comeback marked the fourth time, all in Big Ten games, that USC lost on a score in either the final minutes of regulation or in overtime.

Northwestern pulls away from error-prone Maryland

Jack Lausch threw for 203 yards and ran for a touchdown, helping Northwestern to a 37-10 Big Ten victory over Maryland on Friday night in College Park, Md.

In the fourth start of his college career, Lausch completed 10 of 18 passes without an interception as the Wildcats (3-3, 1-2) beat the Terrapins (3-3, 0-3) for the second straight year and improved to 4-1 in the series.

Cam Porter and Jake Arthurs had touchdown runs for Northwestern. Luke Akers was perfect on three field-goal attempts and Bryce Kirtz added three receptions for 123 yards.

Playing for the first time this year after coming off the injured list, Carmine Bastone made the defensive play of the game when he had a blind-side strip sack of Maryland quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. and the Wildcats’ Aidan Hubbard recovered for a touchdown.

The play came early in the fourth quarter and gave Northwestern a 24-10 lead.

Edwards completed 28 of 51 passes for 296 yards and scored a touchdown for Maryland, which fell into a tie for last place in the Big Ten with UCLA.

The Terrapins, who entered with a turnover margin of plus-11, which was tops among power conference schools, committed four costly turnovers while the Wildcats had none. Opportunistic Northwestern converted the mistakes into 17 points.

Lausch sparked the Wildcats early, completing a 40-yard rainbow to A.J. Henning. Three plays later, Lausch improvised, scrambling for a 9-yard touchdown run that put Northwestern up 7-0.

The next time the Wildcats got the ball, Lausch directed a 92-yard scoring drive, capped by a 3-yard touchdown run by Porter in the second quarter.

Northwestern quickly expanded its lead as Greyson Metz forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and Damon Walters recovered for the Wildcats, setting up a 43-yard field goal by Akers, which made it 17-0.

Maryland responded with a 16-play, 90-yard drive, capped by Edwards’ 1-yard quarterback sneak on fourth down, which cut the deficit to 17-7 with 3:22 left in the half.

In the third quarter, the Terrapins dominated possession, out-gaining the Wildcats 124-11. But a dropped pass on fourth down ended one Maryland possession and Hubbard ended another Terrapins drive with a third-down sack.

After the sack, the Terrapins got a 31-yard field goal by Jack Howes on the first play of the fourth quarter, which cut the Wildcats’ lead to 17-10. Northwestern, however, dominated the rest of the way.

Northwestern, Maryland aim to rebound after games slipped away

With both teams licking their wounds from lookalike losses to Indiana, Northwestern and Maryland are seeking the finishing touch when they meet Friday night in College Park, Md.

Last week, the Wildcats (2-3, 0-2 Big Ten) were poised to upset the then-No. 23 Hoosiers as they trailed by three points before giving up two touchdowns in the final seven minutes of a 41-24 loss.

Meanwhile, the Terrapins (3-2, 0-2) have had a week to stew on their 42-28 loss at the Hoosiers. The game was tied 21-all in the third quarter before Indiana (now No. 18 in the country) reeled off three straight touchdowns.

The bye week came at a good time for Maryland, which lost three of its top players.

On Tuesday, coach Mike Locksley was evasive about the status of safety Dante Trader Jr. and wideouts Tai Felton and Kaden Prather, saying two were healthy, but not identifying which ones.

“I’m thinking all three will be good to go,” Lockley said. “We did a procedure on one of the three, where it just (depends on) how it takes.”

While Felton leads the Big Ten in receptions (46) and receiving yards (642), Prather provides a secondary threat with 26 catches for 269 yards.

Coming off consecutive 8-5 seasons and three straight bowl appearances — all wins — the program has come under fire as the Terrapins appear to have regressed.

“We’ve got the transfer portal coming open here soon,” Locksley said. “The church gates are opening up here soon and we need to have positivity about the program, about the kids, about the direction.”

Northwestern also had hoped for a better start after going 8-5 last year under David Braun, who was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year.

“I think this football team is very confident that we have more within us,” Braun said.

In his third career start, quarterback Jack Lausch completed 23 of 38 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns without an interception against Indiana.

“I’m so stinking excited about the progression we’re seeing out of Jack,” Braun said.

Northwestern hopes for more from its rushing attack, which has produced 152 yards on 48 carries in its two Big Ten losses. The improved health of Cam Porter should help, Braun said.

Porter was sidelined for the Wildcats’ 24-5 loss at Washington and carried just six times for 15 yards in the Indiana defeat.

Porter scored two touchdowns last year in Northwestern’s 33-27 win over Maryland, which brought the Wildcats’ record to 3-1 in the series.

Indiana's Kurtis Rourke (9) passes during the Indiana versus Maryland football game at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024.

Indiana tops Maryland for best start (5-0) since 1967

Kurtis Rourke threw three touchdowns to help Indiana secure its best start in almost six decades with a 42-28 win over Big Ten-rival Maryland on a rainy Saturday in Bloomington, Ind.

Six different players scored touchdowns for the Hoosiers, who are 5-0 for the first time since 1967. Indiana is 2-0 in conference play.

Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper Jr. and Donaven McCulley each caught a score from Rourke, who finished 22 of 33 for 359 yards and two interceptions. Justice Ellison, Myles Price and Ty Son Lawton each added a rushing touchdown.

The Hoosiers outgained the Terrapins 510-401 and overcame four turnovers.

Billy Edwards Jr. completed 26 of 41 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns for Maryland (3-2, 0-2), which had won three straight against Indiana.

Terrapins receiver Kaden Prather caught five passes for 66 yards and a touchdown. Roman Hemby scored on a 75-yard run and had a game-high 117 rushing yards on 10 carries. Hemby also caught a 12-yard touchdown to close the scoring.

Tai Felton managed five catches for 38 yards in limited action for Maryland as he sat most of the second half with an unspecified injury. Felton entered Saturday third in Division I with 604 receiving yards.

Prather had a 30-yard touchdown catch overturned with the Terrapins trailing 35-21 in the fourth quarter. Maryland failed on fourth down three plays later with 8:07 left.

Lawton iced the win on a 14-yard run at the 4:09 mark.

Indiana went up two scores with 12:24 left on McCulley’s 12-yard score, his only catch of the game.

The Hoosiers entered the fourth quarter ahead 28-21 after both teams scored two touchdowns in the third.

The Terrapins pulled even at 14 when Dylan Wade tipped a pass to himself for an acrobatic 6-yard touchdown catch. Ellison responded with a 19-yard run on Indiana’s ensuing drive before Hemby raced 75 yards on Maryland’s next play.

Rourke hit Sarratt for a 13-yard score with 40 seconds left in the quarter.

The Hoosiers outgained Maryland 237-110 in the first half but led just 14-7 after committing three turnovers.

After Rourke was intercepted on Indiana’s first two drives, Price delivered the game’s first score on a 1-yard run to open the second quarter.

Maryland responded when Edwards connected with Prather for a 33-yard score. Cooper caught a 27-yard touchdown with 38 seconds left in the half.

Michigan State's Aidan Chiles communicates with teammates against Florida Atlantic during the first quarter on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

Michigan State adjusting to new leadership ahead of clash vs. Maryland

Michigan State and Maryland took different routes last week to reach the same destination: a season-opening win.

Up next is a chance to make an early statement in Big Ten play when the Spartans (1-0) visit the Terrapins (1-0) on Saturday in the conference opener for both teams in College Park, Md.

Michigan State managed a sloppy 16-10 home win over Florida Atlantic last Friday in Jonathan Smith’s first game as the Spartans’ head coach. Smith’s squad committed three turnovers and was flagged 12 times for 140 yards.

Michigan State did not score over the game’s final 2 1/2 quarters amid a shaky showing from quarterback Aidan Chiles, who also made his Spartans debut after spending last season with Smith at Oregon State. Chiles completed 10 of 24 passes for 114 yards without a touchdown and was intercepted twice.

Smith said the sophomore signal-caller was more upbeat at Monday’s practice.

“He’s a competitive kid, and (Friday) was frustrating for him,” Smith said. ” … (He) understands that we’ve got to grow, we’ve got to learn, and he’s all about doing that. He’s aware, too. It’s not just all on him, but he’s got some plays that he could make.”

Chiles will direct Michigan State’s offense against a Maryland defense that forced a trio of turnovers last Saturday in the Terrapins’ 50-7 rout of visiting UConn.

Saturday’s game also revealed that Billy Edwards Jr. will be Maryland’s starting quarterback for the time being. Coach Michael Locksley had been mum about the Terrapins’ primary signal-caller amid a three-player quarterback battle throughout preseason camp.

Edwards, who entered Saturday with three career starts over his first two seasons, went 20-of-27 passing for 311 yards and tossed a pair of touchdowns without turning the ball over.

Locksley said that Edwards, a redshirt junior, exudes a veteran presence that elevates the play of his teammates.

“Billy has some natural leadership abilities,” Locksley said. “He kind of stays even-keeled, which you like to see out of a quarterback.”

Maryland has defeated the Spartans in each of the last two seasons, including a 31-9 win at Michigan State last year. Michigan State leads the series 10-4 going back to 1944.

No. 3 Michigan escapes Maryland with 31-24 victory

Blake Corum rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns as No. 3 Michigan withstood Maryland’s upset bid and recorded its 1,000th program victory with a 31-24 win in College Park, Md., on Saturday.

Derrick Moore had a fumble return for a touchdown and Mike Sainristil and Darrius Clemons picked off Taulia Tagovailoa for Michigan (11-0 overall, 8-0 Big Ten), which led by 20 points midway through the first half. J.J. McCarthy passed for 141 yards and was intercepted once.

Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh served the second game of his three-game conference suspension related to a signal-stealing scandal. The victory set up a showdown with No. 2 Ohio State on Nov. 25.

Billy Edwards Jr. scored all three of Maryland’s touchdowns on 1-yard runs. Tagovailoa passed for 247 yards for the Terrapins (6-5, 3-5).

The Wolverines led 23-10 at halftime.

Corum scored on a 2-yard run after Maryland took a 3-0 lead.

The Wolverines defense produced their next touchdown. Michael Barrett sacked Tagovailoa, who coughed up the ball. Moore scooped it up at the 4-yard line and scored.

The Wolverines’ special teams delivered their next points. Christian Boivin blocked a Colton Spangler punt attempt. Spangler then booted the ball through the back of the end zone to prevent a Michigan recovery, resulting in a safety and a 16-3 Wolverines lead.

A pass interference call against the Terrapins on fourth down extended the Wolverines’ subsequent drive, which ended with Corum’s 1-yard scoring run.

Edwards scored on 4th-and-goal with 1:59 left in the half.

Edwards scored on another fourth-down, 1-yard sneak to make it 23-17 with 10:23 left in the third quarter.

Tagovailoa was intercepted by Sainristil on Maryland’s next possession. The Wolverines capitalized, scoring on Semaj Morgan’s 13-yard end around. A two-point conversion try failed, leaving them with a 12-point advantage.

Maryland answered with an 84-yard drive, finished off by another Edwards plunge.

Michigans second interception came from Clemons with 5:32 left at the Terrapins’ 39-yard line. The Wolverines were unable to pick up a first down and punted, which was downed at the 1. Tagovailoa was called for intentional grounding on the next play, giving Michigan a seven-point lead and the ball on the safety.

Last-second field goal lifts Maryland over Nebraska

Jack Howes made a 24-yard field goal as time expired and Maryland became bowl-eligible for the third straight year by grinding out a 13-10 victory over host Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.

The Terrapins’ defense recorded five takeaways, and Tarheeb Still’s interception of Nebraska third-string quarterback Chubba Purdy set the stage for a 12-play, 75-yard drive.

Tai Felton drew pass interference on third down to keep Maryland’s drive alive. Roman Hemby’s 21-yard run and completions to Corey Dyches and Jeshaun Jones got Maryland (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten) in position for the winning kick.

Taulia Tagovailoa went 27-for-40 for 283 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception for Maryland, which ended a four-game losing streak. Felton had five catches for 73 yards and a touchdown, and Still and Dante Trader Jr. each recorded two interceptions.

Jeff Sims replaced injured starting quarterback Heinrich Haarberg for the Cornhuskers (5-5, 3-4), but after two interceptions and a lost fumble, Sims was benched for Purdy in the fourth quarter.

Purdy threw a 24-yard completion and ran three times for 33 yards on his first drive, but it ended with a thud when he tossed an interception to Still in the end zone.

Haarberg went 1-for-5 for 0 yards and an interception caught by Trader before he suffered an apparent leg injury in the second quarter.

Sims entered and took Nebraska on a 12-play, 58-yard drive. Emmett Johnson converted one fourth-and-2 run, but another fourth-and-2 play from the Maryland 27-yard line was stuffed.

Tagovailoa hit Felton for 53 yards on the very next play, setting up a 16-yard touchdown catch-and-run by Felton to break the scoreless tie with 2:31 before halftime.

Felton, however, lost a fumble on the first drive of the second half to give Nebraska a short field. Freshman fullback Janiran Bonner scored his first career touchdown on third-and-goal from the 2.

Tagovailoa was intercepted by Javin Wright on the next Maryland possession, made worse by Jones’ unsportsmanlike conduct after the play. That set up Nebraska’s Tristan Alvano for the go-ahead 38-yard field goal with 8:26 left in the third.

A long Terrapins drive was stopped on a failed fourth-and-1 run from Nebraska’s 17. But Sims fumbled on the first play of the fourth quarter, Maryland recovered and Howes was able to tie the game 10-10 with a 35-yard field goal.

Trader intercepted Sims on the next possession, but Hemby lost a fumble inside Nebraska’s 5-yard line, setting up Purdy’s late drive.
