Stat to Watch Recap: Penn State

It was evident that James Franklin was going to start Will Levis over Sean Clifford. Levis provided a second-half spark the week prior against Nebraska. Although Levis is a big, strong runner, I was happy (valley) that we didn’t see Sean Clifford until it was too late. As I wrote the other day, Sean Clifford is the much more-accomplished passer of the two, and Clifford beat our Hawks in Iowa City last year. Levis, at this stage of his career, is more of a one-dimensional player. We know what Phil Parker does to one-dimensional players.
