Penn State’s combo of quarterback Sean Clifford and receiver Jahan Dotson continue to climb the Penn State record books. The two connected on a touchdown pass early in the second quarter of Saturday night’s Big Ten contest with Indiana to give the Nittany Lions a 14-0 lead.
The play saw a great effort by Dotson to make a quick adjustment and drag a foot just inside the back of the end zone to secure the touchdown to put Penn State up two scores.

Penn State’s second touchdown of the night came on the end of a 96-yard touchdown drive that started following the defense stuffing Indiana on a fourth down at the other end of the field. The Hoosiers failed to capitalize on great field position following an interception thrown by Clifford. Indiana’s Raheem Layne II picked off a Clifford pass and returned it 23 yards to the Penn State 13-yard line, but the Hoosiers offense was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.
Clifford-Dotson connection is good for 17 touchdowns between the two… tying QB Todd Blackledge & Kenny Jackson for top connection in Penn State history
Will Blackledge be in attendance for that record breaking?

It was Clifford’s second touchdown pass thrown on the night. His first-quarter touchdown pass to Brenton Strange was the first score of the game.
