Sean Clifford has been a member of the Penn State football program for the past six years. The super senior saved his best for last, delivering an immaculate performance in his final start in a Nittany Lions uniform to lead Penn State to a 35-21 win over Utah in the 2023 Rose Bowl.<\/p>\n

Clifford threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-21 passing to power the 11th-ranked Nittany Lions to victory over the No. 8 Utes, the team’s first bowl win since 2019.<\/p>\n

It was a stellar way to end a lengthy collegiate career that began with a redshirt season in 2017. Clifford played backup to Trace McSorley the following year before assuming the starting position in 2019 and never relinquishing the spot. He holds every significant passing record in program history.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media were impressed with what they saw from Clifford in the Rose Bowl, with many touting it as the best performance in his Penn State career:<\/p>\n

A great way for Sean Clifford to end his phenomenal career at Penn State. <\/p>\n

As one of his biggest supporters, I will remember him as one of the most over criticized QBs in recent history. <\/p>\n

32-14 career record. <\/p>\n

Holds the record for TDs, passing yards, completion % & completions<\/p>\n

Sean Clifford I said he was “locked in” pregame. <\/p>\n

88 yards to KeAndre Lambert-Smith <\/p>\n

Of course, he does this when a 6 year term senator is in the house<\/p>\n

What a storybook ending to Sean Clifford’s career.<\/p>\n

Today, in his last game, he played the best game of his career, broke the school record for total offense and delivered a Rose Bowl win to Penn State.<\/p>\n

Bravo, #14! ????<\/p>\n

The term “legacy game” is used far to often but I think it’s absolutely what you can call this for Sean Clifford. Will absolutely change the way PSU fans remember his career.<\/p>\n

Clifford doesn’t plan on ending his football career and will immediately turn his attention<\/a> to preparing for the NFL Scouting Combine in hopes of being selected in the 2023 draft.<\/p>\n

Monday’s performance likely opened some eyes, as Clifford proved that he can perform at a high level when the lights are brightest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
