This pass-happy Penn State offense is unlike anything we've ever seen

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Sean Clifford threw 47 passes in Penn State's win at Maryland on Saturday, and that came a week after he threw 52 passes in a loss at Ohio State.

Did you ever think you'd see the day when a Penn State quarterback would attempt 99 passes over two games? It's almost unbelievable. Going back to the Iowa game, Clifford threw the ball 25 times in 17 minutes before getting hurt, putting him on pace for 60 attempts.

This isn't Texas Tech, or BYU, or Houston, or one of the other programs with a history of throwing the ball a ton.
