STATE COLLEGE — Even Penn State’s stellar defense couldn’t save the team after a continuation of its season-long punting woes.

Maryland took advantage of a short field following a 37-yard punt by Penn State, and the Terrapins’ Brad Craddock kicked a 43-yard field goal with 51 seconds left for a 20-19 come-from-behind win over the Nittany Lions on Saturday.

The victory made Maryland bowl-eligible and extended Penn State’s (4-4, 1-4 Big Ten) losing streak to four games. It was Maryland’s first-ever win at Beaver Stadium in a series it now trails 35-2-1. It was the first time in Penn State history that the Nittany Lions had played an overtime game and one-point game consecutively.

Trailing 16-7 late in the third quarter, the Terps (6-3, 3-2) moved ahead after quarterback C.J. Brown engineered back-to-back scoring drives, aided by Alex Twine’s fumble recovery on a Penn State kickoff return.

Penn State’s Sam Ficken kicked his fourth field goal with 6:52 remaining to give the Nittany Lions a 19-17 lead.

The Terps held Penn State to a three-and-out.
