“We had a lot of penalties early in the game, the turnover down in the red zone,” Locksley said. “Those were all things that were self-inflicted. So to close the gap, good teams don’t beat themselves. Right now we’re not playing that type of football and it’s up to me to figure out how to get us to play that way.”

Let’s be honest, the entire first half was a mess.
Penn State had seven first-half offensive possessions. The results of those drives were five touchdowns, one field goal, one interception, and zero punts. Maryland completed only six passes and was out-gained on offense 383 to 94. Penn State converted all of their third downs while the Terps had only three conversions in nine attempts.
If this was boxing, the referee would have stopped the fight.

It was the largest margin of defeat for Maryland since a 66-3 loss at home to No. 10 Penn State to end the 2017 season. With the defeat, the Terps haven’t scored a touchdown against the Nittany Lions since then-freshman quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome’s 7-yard run in the second quarter of a 38-14 road loss in 2016, a stretch of 14 quarters.
Said Clifford, in reference to the Nittany Lions fans: "When you white out a black out like that, that’s awesome.”

After halftime, most of fans remaining from a rare sellout crowd of 53,228 at Maryland were the several thousand cheering for the Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0).
The Terrapins garnered only 128 yards in offense. Until late in the fourth quarter, Clifford had more yards rushing (54) than the entire Maryland backfield.
