Last game: 45-17 win vs. Minnesota
Next game: Oct. 29 vs. #2 Ohio State

Hello, Sean Clifford! Clifford had 295 passing yards and four touchdown throws in Penn State’s dominant home victory over Minnesota. After being somewhat embarrassed by Michigan just weeks before, the Nittany Lions got exactly what the doctor ordered with a big win against a decent Big Ten team before taking on goliath.

The matchup of the weekend. Penn State travels to Columbus to take on the best team in the Big Ten, Ohio State, on Saturday. Primetime for a matchup between Sean Clifford and C.J. Stroud. The Buckeyes have dominated the Nittany Lions in recent seasons, winning nine of the past 10 meetings, despite winning two of those games by one point exactly. The last time Penn State took on Ohio State at home when they were ranked No. 2 in the country dates back to 2016 when the Nittany Lions shocked the college football world and won 24-21.
