Penn State is 3-0, having played one of the hardest schedules in the country to date, and sits at #6 in the country for its efforts.
A large part of that has to do with the re-emergence of quarterback Sean Clifford.
In 2019, Clifford took over as starter after Trace McSorley headed off to the NFL, and put together a statistically sound campaign. The redshirt sophomore completed 59.2% of his passes for 2,654 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. He added in 402 rushing yards, and 5 touchdowns on the ground, as he guided Penn State to an 11-2 record and a record-setting Cotton Bowl win over Memphis.
