COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Drew Allar threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first half and No. 9 Penn State easily handled Maryland 51-15 to set up a showdown with Michigan next week. The Nittany Lions never were in danger of their meeting with fading Maryland becoming a trap game. The Terrapins have dropped four in a row, and a season that began with five straight wins is in danger of really unraveling. Penn State season leading receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith went down holding his left knee during the fourth quarter but he was able to walk off.
