Clifford's mobility causes Indiana defense problems
Tom Allen, as well as Indiana's players, praised Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford's scrambling ability, noting that it created some difficulty for the Indiana defense, which did not collapse the pocked well enough, in the estimation of linebacker Cam Jones.Clifford rushed 10 times for 58 yards — a significant enough total to impact the game, no doubt.
"We knew he could scramble and he gets out of the pocket," Indiana linebacker Micah McFadden said. "A few of those plays were on myself and other guys, just keeping him contained in the pocket. It's something we need to address."
Clifford's scrambling ability helped create a pair of Penn State touchdowns through the air as well, as the Penn State signal caller used his legs to buy time for receivers to create separation — first on a goal-to-go situation with Brandon Strange, then on fourth down, when he hit Jahan Dotson for a score. - Per Penn State’s Rivals Site
Indiana should have remembered his running ability in 2019.
Penn State’s James Franklin will likely remind his team about last year too!
