Inside the Box Score: The key factors in Penn State’s fashionable win

Inside the box score of Penn State’s 44-13 victory over Ball State

Penn State looked stellar on both sides of the ball today. We saw involvement from several receivers and running backs throughout the game.  

Let’s take a look at the box score from key players from both teams.  

Penn State Offense 

Sean Clifford – 21/29 230 yards and a touchdown 

Clifford looked like a much more confident quarterback today. Not sure if it was the jitters of playing under a new offensive coordinator for the first game last week, but he looked more comfortable against Ball State today.  

Noah Cain – 20 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown 

Cain was involved early in this game. One point that is worth noting is that Cainn didn’t see action for almost two and a half quarters last week against Wisconsin. Today, he had a very productive game, despite what the stat line shows.  

Keyvone Lee and Devyn Ford also showed a lot of promise and the Penn State backfield as a whole was exciting to watch.  

Jahan Dotson – 5 receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown 

We talked about shiftiness in the running back room. Talk about shiftiness in Dotson. Dotson. Dotson continues to put himself on the map as a slept on receiver prospect in college football.
