Penn State coach James Franklin watched his team turn a comfortable victory over Maryland into a rout, then made it clear he doesn't care much about style points. “We wanted to be able to run the ball out of spread sets, and for whatever reason, we couldn’t cover people up and then you get into when you’re behind the sticks and you’re forced to throw the ball,” Maryland coach Michael Locksley said.

Penn State’s offense finally found a way to be explosive when it mattered most on Saturday. Drew Allar threw three touchdown passes, including a 57-yarder to KeAndre Lambert-Smith with 1:46 to play, and No. 10 Penn State’s defense forced a late safety to beat Indiana 33-24 on Saturday. Allar hooked up with Khalil Dinkins and Tyler Warren for touchdowns and Nick Singleton ran for another score for the Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten), who recovered after blowing a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.
