Analysis: Did Franklin make big mistake choosing Clifford over Levis?
Will Levis running the ball against Nebraska in 2020.ALTOONA, Pa. -- See that picture up above? It's Will Levis running the ball. Because, of course it is, since that's all he was ever really allowed to do during his Penn State career.
Sure, Levis played quarterback and got on the field on occasion for the Nittany Lions. But let's face it, he was by and large just a running back who took snaps his final season at Penn State in 2020.
Remember that ridiculous game at Rutgers in 2020, when Levis ran the ball 17 times from the QB position, while throwing ZERO? He was backing up Sean Clifford that day and the Lions had issues with running back depth, so Levis became a de facto tailback.
