College football fans react to incredible Penn State-Purdue finish

Published:
Penn State ended up beating Purdue on an incredible late-game drive. That was Sean Clifford’s best drive, too, and he saved it for the end to beat Purdue.
Clifford led the Nittany Lions, completing 6-of-7 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown pass. It was redemption of sorts after the pick-6 earlier. This was a significant road win for the Nittany Lions.
The Big Ten showdown featured 7 lead changes.
Clifford’s game winning pass is below:

Incredible drive by Penn State to go up 4 on Purdue. Scott Frost would onside kick in this situation

Sean Clifford is such a college football quarterback. Not terrible. Not elite. Frustrating for his fan base, but he also has so many moments like that drive.
