Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford told reporters that fans lashed out at him on social media with death threats following the Nittany Lions' loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Nov. 9.
"It's kind of sad to say, but you know how some fans get," he said. "It gets a little crazy. I was, kind of, sick and tired of getting death threats and some pretty explicit and pretty tough-to-read messages."
He revealed he deleted his social media apps after the loss.
"You learn how to deal with certain things and how certain people are going to react because it's a very passionate game with a lot of passionate people," he said.
