Getting to know Michigan’s Week 8 opponent: Penn State Nittany Lions

With the season on the line, the Michigan Wolverines head to Happy Valley this weekend and take on the undefeated Penn State Nittany Lions (7:30 p.m., ABC).

Last year, Michigan whooped Penn State at the Big House, but this is a brand new year for both teams, and the home team this year, unfortunately, looks like a juggernaut once again.

The offense is lead by redshirt sophomore quarterback Sean Clifford, who looks like a Trace McSorely clone through the first six games. He is dangerous through the air (1,560 pass yards, 13 touchdowns, 2 interceptions) and on the ground (252 rush yards, 2 touchdowns).
