Sean Clifford currently stands as Penn State’s all-time leader in passing yards with 10,661 of them. The first 34 of those career yards came in perhaps the most satisfying fashion imaginable: A touchdown on his very first career passing attempt in a 51-6 blowout win against Pitt in the driving rain. It was enough to prompt ESPN announcer Sean McDonough’s now-classic line, This college thing is easy, says Sean Clifford! Cliff would go on to throw for another 10,627 yards and 85 touchdowns spanning over a four-year career as starter, and would ultimately get drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
