Maryland Earned a 15-Yard Penalty By Refusing to Shake Hands During Coin Toss

Maryland’s first visit to Happy Valley as a member of the Big Ten is off to a very testy start. The Terrapins were assessed a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after captains P.J. Gallo, Sean Davis, and Stefon Diggs refused to shake hands with captains from Penn State during the coin toss. The Nittany Lions capitalized on the resulting good field position to kick a field goal and take an early 3-0 lead.

I’m sure a valuable lesson about traditional Midwestern values was learned.
