The week leading up to last Saturday’s White Out was filled with Sean Clifford questions.
James Franklin was asked about playing Drew Allar. Clifford was nursing an injury that forced him out of the loss at Michigan. Even in the first quarter, Clifford was met with boos when he was introduced as the starter and those boos grew to a crescendo following a first quarter interception that set up a Golden Gopher field goal.
Clifford responded and on Monday was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in a 45-17 win against Minnesota.
