Penn State had a chance to win the game against Indiana in the waning moments of the fourth quarter.

Instead of calling a passing play, the team declined to choose, and so, Indiana chose for them.

From 2021 to 2025, Penn State OCAndy Kotelnick has had the same starting QB from the beginning of the season to the end of the season just once.

Drew Allar: 2024

Every other year, at least two QBs start a game due to injury.

Anyway, Liam Clifford is the backup today.

It's hard enough to beat an elite team like Ohio State. It's impossible if you're trying to hide your quarterback in the game plan.
