Sean Clifford will be back in 2022 as a 6th year senior, after taking advantage of the NCAA’s rule allowing players from the 2020 Covid-shortened season to gain an extra year of eligibility.
In 2021, Clifford looked like a man on a mission through the first 5.25 games of the season. The team was undefeated, and Sean looked quite comfortable in Mike Yurcich’s offense. Then he got injured against Iowa, and was never the same again. The offense - not unlike Clifford - became a shell of itself, struggling to put up points against every opponent.
Given that Penn State’s offense is not guaranteed to be very effective in 2022 - there are always roster turnovers, players switching positions, etc.
