In front of a national audience on Saturday night, Liam Clifford shined. The Penn State commit had an impressive performance in the season opener for St. Xavier over the weekend, even though his team fell short against Brownsburg.
Clifford finished the night with 9 catches for 125 yards. That total included an impressive 36-yard reception early in the first quarter, in which the future Nittany Lion was able to create separation from the defender and create some early momentum for St. Xavier.
