fwiw theres a ton of history there, MD and Penn State are border schools that used to play regularly
Quote:
Penn State and Maryland met in briefly interrupted stretches between 1917 and 1993, with a near-consecutive run played all but three years (they did not meet in 1976, 1981, and 1983) between 1960 and 1993.
Penn State has always recruited the MD/DC area (and have done well there)
And also James Franklin used to be a MD "head coach in waiting" and theres a lot of history there including him saying he considers Maryland "in-state" in terms of recruiting etc.
