Penn State got off to a solid start against Ohio by scoring the game’s first 19 points. The Bobcats however, strung together an eight-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to make it a 19-7 ball game with only 1:29 to play in the half and suddenly, the momentum was in the Bobcats’ favor, triggering at least some PSU fans’ PTSD from 2012’s loss to Ohio.
Sean Clifford would have none of it though, as he helped engineer a two-minute drill that saw Cliff hit KeAndre Lambert-Smith a couple of times for big gains. On a crucial 3rd and 10 from Ohio’s 41-yard line, Cliff fired a pass to Parker Washington, who seemingly tightroped the sidelines all the way into the end zone for a crucial, momentum-shifting, PSU touchdown.
