When history looks back at the career of Sean Clifford at Penn State, there will be some conversation as to what exactly the legacy of the six-year quarterback is or should be. Penn State did not win a or even play for a Big Ten title during Clifford’s time at Penn State, the majority of which saw him as the team’s starting quarterback. Nor did Penn State participate in the College Football Playoff. The record against Ohio State was without a win, and there were ups and downs against Michigan.
But on the other hand, Clifford was in charge of the offense for two victories in New Years Six bowl games and he benefitted from so much time playing that he essentially rewrote the Penn State record book. Was he the best quarterback to come to or through Penn State? No. Others have been more skilled or accomplished in the school’s history, but it is unwise to dismiss the toughness, both mentally and physically, Clifford had at Penn State.
