With the news on Friday that Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford will return for a sixth year, Penn State fans could breathe a huge sigh of relief.
That’s not to say every single fan was enamored with the QB’s play, or how the offense has looked the last couple seasons, but there’s no denying that Clifford will bring a much-needed sense of stability to the quarterback room.
Let’s start with the fact that Will Levis portaled out after the 2020 season to Kentucky, and then think about how the Lions may have done against Iowa and Illinois if Levis had stayed at Penn State, rather than trying out greener pastures.
