This will be Sean Clifford's 3rd game against Iowa
In 2019 he was 12/24, 117 yards, 1 TD passing. But he also ran it 16 times for 52 yards. PSU won 17-12
In 2020 Clifford split time with Levis
Clifford was 13/22, 174 yds, 2 TD, 2 int passing
Levis was 13/16, 106 yards, no TD, no int
Levis actually started the 2020 game for PSU, but got pulled for Clifford when Iowa raced to a 31-7 lead in the 3Q. Part of how Iowa built that lead was returning a Levis fumble for a TD. Clifford actually threw a couple TD passes to get PSU close, 31-21. But then Clifford ended up throwing 2 picks to end the game, including a pick six that made the final score 41-21.
Despite mixed results, I don't expect Clifford to make many mistakes against Iowa. He has seen the Iowa defense twice before. He will be coached to only take what Iowa's defense is giving him. With that said, I don't expect PSU to score many points either.
