Penn State officially posted its best regular-season performance under James Franklin, finishing 11-1 for the first time in his tenure and first since 2008. The Nittany Lions used a blowout 44-7 win over Maryland to get there — and book a ticket to next weekend’s Big Ten Championship game against Oregon in Indianapolis.

After the game, things got a little unruly on the field as Maryland coach Mike Locksley had some good words for James Franklin’s decision to let the substitutes continue scoring late in the fourth quarter. But all in all, the Nittany Lions were, as they have been so often with Penn State and Maryland, simply dominant.

Here are the stats that tell the story.

2 Appearances at the Big Ten Championships under James Franklin.

0.02 Seconds were left on the clock when Beau Pribula threw a 15-yard touchdown to Tyseer Denmark. Perhaps Locksley’s anger was somewhat justified.

6-68-1 Tight end Tyler Warren’s receptions, yards and touchdown line in another great performance. He is just 22 yards away from 1,000 yards this season, something only four Penn Staters have done before – none of them a tight end.

81 Season receptions for Warren, who set the record for most receptions by a Big Ten tight end.

130 Career receptions for Warren, who broke Mike Gesicki’s previous Penn State record for a tight end with 129.

17 Career receiving touchdowns for Warren, who tied with Pat Freiermuth for most by a tight end at Penn State.

170 All-purpose yards for running back Nicholas Singleton: 87 rushing, 17 receiving and 66 kickoff return. After several injuries this year, he finally looks completely healthy again.

0 Third quarter touchdowns by Penn State opponents this regular season. The Nittany Lions only allowed 15 points all year.

10 Penn State’s total quarterback pressures against Maryland, including six sacks and four QB hurries. Starting starter MJ Morris ran for his life all day. Dani Dennis-Sutton had three of these races alone.

10 Sacks this season for Abdul Carter, who is trying to insert himself into the Heisman conversation. Carter is the first Penn State defensive back to have double-digit sacks since Ryan Nassib had 15.5 sacks in 2015. He had two more quarterback takedowns on Saturday and added a Heisman Trophy pose to his resume. After the game, he said he felt he deserved consideration for the award.

16 Third quarter rushing yards for Maryland. Penn State’s defense in the third quarter and second half as a whole was stifling. This year, Penn State is allowing just 1.67 yards per rush in the second half.

-14 Rushing yards in the first quarter for Maryland thanks to some sack yards.

72 Total rush yards for the Terps with 23 carries. That’s 2.3 yards per tote bag.

5 for 15 for Penn State on third downs. After the Lions lost 11-1 in the third down to Minnesota last week, this is starting to become a real problem. Penn State converts on third down at a rate of 47.2% this season.

7.3 Penn State has average yards to go on third downs, meaning the Lions struggled mightily on early downs.

4 for 5 on fourth downs. There is a saving grace as Penn State converted short-yard fourth downs at a really high pace. Drew Allar running the tush push is hard to stop.
