8 Burning Questions for Penn State in 2021

So, what’s happening with the quarterback situation?

This seemed to be the biggest question mark following the 2020 season, although the dust has settled as fall quickly approaches. Sean Clifford returns for his third year as a starter, but must improve after regressing a season ago. Clifford entered the season looking to take the next step to become a top-tier quarterback - only to be plagued by turnovers and inconsistency. He even lost his starting job midway through the season, only to earn it back after one week. Things did improve from there, as Clifford threw five touchdowns and just one interception as the team ended the season with a four-game winning streak.
