Has Maryland surpassed Penn St in CFB?

Stop with this crap….No, Maryland has not surpassed Penn State in CFB. Maryland has closed the gap Yes, and that may well be due to Penn State’s own regressions and self-inflicted wounds rather than Maryland’s progressions. Penn State is getting good recruits and better recruits than Maryland, so if Maryland starts to beat us more than once in a blue moon, then either Locksley is developing his players better or Franklin is not developing his players.
 
Combined scores of last 5 PSU-MD games, 213-55, in favor of Penn State. And 35 of Maryland's 55 points came last year in their one win in those 5 games so that tells you how lopsided this series has been.
 
We can beat Maryland and Rutgers, that's not the concern. But we have never beaten OSU, Michigan and MSU consistently, and that remains the ongoing problem. The new problem is not Mike Locksley, but whether we can consistently still beat Iowa, Indiana and our cross over games. We are not top tier Big 10 contender anymore, rather, we are in the middle group and competition there is getting tougher.
