Terps Come Up Short at Penn State

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Freshman Lorenzo Harrison III racked up 76 yards on just six carries, but Penn State beat Maryland 38-14 on Saturday.

Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley accounted for 233 total yards, throwing for 152 and rushing for 81 as the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) had a season-high 524 total yards and snapped Maryland's five game win streak.

Penn State limited Maryland (4-1, 1-1) to 270 total yards, including 170 on the ground. The Terps came in averaging 300 rushing yards per game in victories over Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and Purdue.

Maryland was forced to play without veteran quarterback Perry Hills during the second half; Hills was injured on a second-quarter keeper deep in Penn State territory.

Penn State penalties and a Saquon Barkley fumble enabled the Terps to stay within striking distance until McSorley hooked up with DeAndre Thompkins on a 70-yard scoring pass late in the third quarter to make it 31-14. Freshman Miles Sanders added a 25-yard scoring run late in the game.
