The Maryland–Penn State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Penn State Nittany Lions and Maryland Terrapins. == Series history == The teams first played in 1917. Penn State has thoroughly dominated the series, leading 36–2–1, with their longest winning streak being 24 games from 1962–88. Penn State and Maryland met in briefly interrupted stretches between 1917 and 1993, with a near-consecutive run played all but three years (1976, 1981, and 1983) between 1960 and 1993. However, the one-sided record belies what was often a competitive match-up until its final years. While Maryland only compiled one win and one tie, numerous games were narrowly lost by missed field goals and turnovers. In 1975, a field goal attempt by kicker Mike Sochko hit the upright with under a minute left, and Maryland lost 15–13.〔David Ungrady, (''Tales from the Maryland Terrapins'' ), p. 198, Sports Publishing LLC, 2003, ISBN 1-58261-688-4.〕 Ten years later, the Terps missed three field goals to eventually lose 20–18.〔(Penn State Staves Off Rally By Maryland To Win, 20–18 ), ''The Toledo Blade'', September 7, 1985.〕 Aside from the painful memories for Maryland, both schools compete aggressively for recruits in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area and Delaware Valley.〔(Penn State's Lure Is Not A Good Sign for Maryland ), ''The Washington Post'', February 1, 2006.〕 When they did play, the game held recruiting implications for the entire mid-Atlantic. A more recent example of the recruiting competition is Baltimore-area player Antonio Logan-El, who committed verbally to Maryland, but ultimately signed with Penn State on live TV in 2006.〔("Antonio Logan-El Lowdown" ), ''Nittany Notes'', Scout.com, April 5, 2007, accessed January 16, 2008.〕 Penn State secured a large number of recruits from the Baltimore–Washington area with its 2006 class, including the 11th-overall 2009 NFL Draft pick, defensive end Aaron Maybin of Ellicott City, Maryland,〔(Ralph's recruiting class ), ''The Washington Times'', April 30, 2009.〕 who had considered attending Maryland.〔 Prior to Maryland's announcement to join the Big Ten, former Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen and Penn State athletic spokesman Jeff Nelson had previously stated that the schools had undergone discussions in an attempt to schedule a rematch. Maryland and Penn State were unable to agree on the terms for a revival.〔Jeff Barker, (Maryland approves move to Big Ten; Rutgers next ) ''Chicago Tribune'', November 19, 2012.〕〔("College Football: East; Penn State Wins, 21–16" ), Associated Press, November 8, 1987, retrieved January 17, 2008.〕 In 2008, Maryland officials alleged that Penn State demanded a two-to-one ratio of home games, which Penn State officials denied.〔Jeff Barker, (Maryland, Penn State disagree on the facts ), ''The Baltimore Sun'', October 2008.〕 Then new Maryland head coach Randy Edsall looked forward to a resumption of the rivalry in 2011.〔(Maryland's Edsall would like series vs. Penn State ), "The York Dispatch", June 21, 2011〕 On November 19, 2012, Maryland announced that it would be joining the Big Ten Conference, effective July 1, 2014. Maryland was placed in the East Division along with Penn State, ensuring that the rivalry will be played on a yearly basis.〔(Rutgers to join Big Ten: Top 5 things you need to know ), "The Star-Ledger", November 19, 2012〕 The first rematch was at Beaver Stadium on November 1, 2014 while Penn State was in the second year of severe NCAA Sanctions. At the coin toss the captains of the Terrapins refused to shake hands with the Penn State captains. Maryland was also given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty as a result of a pregame scuffle in which Maryland wide-receiver Stefon Diggs swung at a Penn State player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maryland penalized for not shaking hands with Penn State at coin toss )〕 Maryland won 20–19 on a 43-yard field goal by Brad Craddock with 51 seconds left in the fourth quarter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Penn State Loses Nail Biter To Maryland 20–19 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maryland vs. Penn State – Game Recap – November 1, 2014 – ESPN )〕 Maryland wide receiver Stefon Diggs, coach Randy Edsall, and athletic director Kevin Anderson made public apologies to the Penn State President, coaching staff and players after being rebuked by the Big Ten Conference. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maryland–Penn State football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
