Penn State football takes major leap in ESPN’s Football Power Index

Penn State football was nothing but a question mark around this time last week. They were wrapping up their summer practices and preparing for their first battle of the 2019 NCAA Football season, which was set to take place in front of the fans at Beaver Stadium.

A couple of days prior to the week one preparation, Penn State named a different starting quarterback for the first time since the Nittany Lions’ 2016 season. Redshirt sophomore Sean Clifford was assumed to take the role from the beginning.

First, though, he had to earn through a battle with the freshman, Will Levis.
