Penn State Football quarterback Sean Clifford and the Nittany Lions’ quarterback situation was ranked among the best in the nation by ESPN

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg (ESPN+) ranked the top 25 college football quarterback situations and you may be surprised where Sean Clifford and Penn State Football were ranked.

Clifford was the undoubted starter going into this odd pandemic-affected year after a solid 2019 campaign where he threw for 2,654 yards, 23 touchdowns and 7 interceptions on a 59.2% completion percentage (148.5) rating.

Sure, he still shared a few snaps with “big arm” Will Levis but Clifford was a top 25 Heisman trophy contender according to betting markets going into the 2020 football season.
