Credit to Clifford, he made the drive #PennState had to have but MAN! @BoilerFootball gave this one away.

Penalties and poor tackling in the 1st half and Brohm REFUSING to call any ones. It's 3rd and 30! Get the clock moving!

Sean Clifford is such a college football quarterback. Not terrible. Not elite. Frustrating for his fan base, but he also has so many moments like that drive.
