Clifford is on a roll after a rocky start in Week 1 that saw the QB throw a pick-six in the fourth quarter, only to have to mount an exceptional comeback in the last minutes to barely sneak past Purdue, 35-31. The QB battled back with a stellar start in Week 2, going 6-for-6 to 6 different receivers, with a 4th-down conversion and 62 yards in the opening drive.
Clifford didn’t stop there, rushing up the middle to put the Nittany Lions on top, 7-3 against Auburn in Week 3.
Clifford’s work has been impressive, but the Chippewas have since battled back to tie the game at 14-all. We’ll see if Clifford can keep things rolling for the afternoon.
