Penn State will need to have an impressive passing performance to get through the efficient defense of Arkansas in the Outback Bowl.

Quarterback Sean Clifford has been okay in some of the drives for Penn State, but his receivers have been great. One example of a good throw, but an excellent catch is the Odell Beckham Jr. catch from wide receiver Parker Washington.

Washington was able to separate himself from Arkansas nickelback Greg Brooks Jr. to get the ball thrown his way. With the ball slightly overthrown by Clifford, Washington was able to stretch out for a tremendous one-handed catch for a 19-yard play.

The drive would ultimately turn into a seven-play, 39-yard drive that resulted in a punt. Penn State would be able to score their first touchdown of the game in the next drive to tie the game 7-7.
