Clifford was 2-for-8 with 23 yards passing, and rushed two times for four yards during Penn State’s first four drives. After the final drive, he walked off the field gingerly and entered the injury tent. Minutes later, Clifford was seen walking down the tunnel into the Penn State Locker room.
The Scarlet Knights had registered two quarterback hits during those first four drives, including a big hit up high on a third-down incompletion during the second drive. All four of the Nittany Lions drives ended in Jordan Stouts punts.
Midway through the second quarter, the game remains scoreless.
