UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) — Maryland coach Mike Locksley grew up rooting for the team he now coaches which makes performances like the one Taulia Tagovailoa and the Terps turned in during their 35-19 win over regional rival Penn State on Saturday all that more special.

Tagovailoa competed 18 of 26 passes for 282 yards and three touchdown passes. Rakim Jarrett caught five passes for 144 yards with a pair of touchdowns, Dontay Demus caught another and Jake Funk added 80 rushing yards and a score for the Terps (2-1, 2-1 Big Ten Conference), who won for just the third time in the 44-game series and first since 2015.

"Great team win,'' Locksley said. "I'm just so happy for those players in that locker room. I'm happy for the former Terp football players that have endured us not playing competitively with (Penn State).''

 Sean Clifford completed 27 of 57 passes for 340 yards with two interceptions and three touchdowns for Penn State, which fell to 0-3 for the first time since 2001.

The Terps flipped the script this time thanks to Tagovailoa and a defense that tortured Penn State all night. A week after he turned in one of the best passing performances in Terrapins history, Tagovailoa didn't hesitate to attack Penn State's reeling defense. He completed 14 of his first 19 throws, including a pair of long touchdowns to Rakim Jarrett on two first-quarter possessions that gave the Terps a lead they wouldn't relinquish.

"I feel like our whole offense, as well as our defense too, I feel like we're all finding our rhythm,'' Tagovailoa said.

Tagovailoa hit Jarrett on a short slant route and the wideout outran Penn State's defense 42 yards into the end zone to open the scoring. Maryland went back to the play as the first quarter drew to a close, but this time Jarrett went 62 yards untouched to put Maryland up 14-0.

Funk capped an 8-play, 62-yard drive with a 38-yard touchdown run through heavy traffic early in the second quarter before Clifford cut the lead to 21-7 with a 20-yard touchdown to Dotson. Tagovailoa gave Maryland a 28-7 lead when he found Demus running uncovered down the sideline for a 34-yard score.

Maryland got the game's first turnover to start the third quarter. Nick Cross blasted Clifford and jarred the ball loose on Penn State's first second-half possession. Linebacker Chance Campbell scooped up the fumble and returned it 44 yards to give Maryland a 35-7 lead.
