No. 12 Penn State is headed to College Park and with a 3-0 record, while Maryland is coming off a 20-17 loss to Temple.
Bleacher Report's Ryan McCrystal tweeted about the matchup Sunday.
"Despite the early season offensive outburst, Maryland's defense has been much more efficient than its offense. Looks like both defenses hold the statistical edge in this matchup," he tweeted.
