What if Finley beats out Clifford THIS year?Not if Clifford stays for yr 6.... Finley will not be coming north
He's a better qb right now. So if he comes here then he will eventually play.Not if Clifford stays for yr 6.... Finley will not be coming north

Let's find out this season if Franklin gets him.
But if you read the article his other two top choices are Auburn and Texas and he would have to beat out someone at those schools too. Probably has just as much chance at starting here as those other two schools.Find out what?
The statistics don't lie. If Franklin does convince this transfer to come to PSU it will be to back up Clifford. And the LSU QB has said he wants to go somewhere to be the starting QB. So that says he is not likely coming to PSU.
Just another case of the grass is always greener on the other side.....

Funny, seems there's a lot of that going around here.Find out what?

We need a QB to run on short yardage situations. 😉Find out what?

Say what? No sir!He's a better qb right now. So if he comes here then he will eventually play.
Thank you Sir! Common sense, refreshing!It's possible Finley would be better than Clifford. It's possible Clifford would be better than Finley.
Either way, adding depth is always a good thing. Adding competition is always a good thing. Whether fans think he'd beat out Clifford or not, adding Finley gives us another option. Maybe he'd beat out Clifford. Maybe he wouldn't. Fans can make absolutist statements all day long, but only the coaches get to decide.
He'd be a good addition.
Nope, calling BS on you man. You are moving goal posts. You were claiming he would beat Clifford out hands down.Thank you Sir! Common sense, refreshing!
Seems he likes Auburn, but Bo Nix is two year starter and with extra year is a sophomore, but likely 2 more years as a starter.It's possible Finley would be better than Clifford. It's possible Clifford would be better than Finley.

If he's looking to start right away, Texas probably makes more sense than Auburn or PSU.
Apparently the Sean Clifford that completely mishandled the offense in an all Time record breaking 0-5 start, never happened? Amazing
Not Texas. They have two QBs battling it out who are better than Finley.It's possible Finley would be better than Clifford. It's possible Clifford would be better than Finley.

If he goes to Texas. Would be interesting if one of Texas qbs transfers to psu to connect yurcich again.Not Texas. They have two QBs battling it out who are better than Finley.
I do know that Casey Thompson was recruited by PSU while in HS in OKLAHOMA. Nice young. Had the pleasure to meet him in OKC when he was still in HS.If he goes to Texas. Would be interesting if one of Texas qbs transfers to psu to connect yurcich again.
Hey, if the Clifford from 2019 shows up this year, absolutely, I agreeApparently the Sean Clifford that was QB1 on our 11-2 squad, never happened?
Yet Finley gets no flak from you for doing piss all on the defending national champions?
I agree that clifford has never been able to really put it together for an entire season, or multiple games, etc. I think a lot of people in the program deserve some responsibility for that though, they have changed his OC's every year and they have been hell bent on him running an offense he really isn't designed to quarterback. Sure, he is athletic and can run, but I remember being concerned with all the talk in spring the last few years about Cliff "being faster than people think" and getting his 40 time lower. I just don't think its who he is and I think the one read and take off or jailbreak offense has limited him in terms of a passer. People also forget Trace was wild in the first half of a lot of games his junior and senior years. He certainly had games I thought he played poorly and cost us. USC first half, Michigan state in '17 come to mind. And people forget the senior year because Trace was so "gutty," but without NFL recievers, TE's and Barkley, Trace was a middling at best Big Ten QB. Look at his stats senior year:I’m not advocating for Finley, but even if we get Clifford from 2019 this team won’t accomplish much. That 2019 team should’ve been in the playoffs if it wasn’t for sub par QB play. The 11 wins were great but I think it slightly blinds people from remembering how bad Clifford looked at times I.e. Pitt, Minny, OSU, Memphis.
QB is arguably the worst position on the team, we need to add another piece there. We’re heading into year 5 of Clifford in the program, he is what he is at this point.

So even if MY can improve on the 11-2 Clifford that won’t accomplish anything?

I believe the 2019 Clifford will show up if he is taught to go fully through his progressions and not bail out after one read. Hopefully CJF has been convinced by MY that Clifford should not be a run first QB.Hey, if the Clifford from 2019 shows up this year, absolutely, I agree

Yes they do. Also, Penn State has a great fly fishing class. legendaryAnother article on the offer to the big (6'6", 325lb DT) FCS DL player recently offered by PSU. Among his many talents, he was on the Illinois State bass fishing team as a freshman. Does PSU have a fishing team ......?

Penn State offers FCS transfer John Ridgeway
It didn’t take long for Illinois State defensive tackle John Ridgeway to become a hot name in the NCAA Transfer Portal. The redshirt junior recorded 22 tackles, three247sports.com
This is PSU....we deserve better.....we sneeze at 11 wins.....LOLSo even if MY can improve on the 11-2 Clifford that won’t accomplish anything? Ok, if you say so. 🙄
Shane Simmons committed to Marshall today to play his final season of eligibility. I wish Shane all the best in his future endeavors!
Every spring psu fields an awesome offensive line lol....I don't agree with your assessment about the QB position, especially in comparison to the oline's of the past couple years. QB's look much better when they get time, have a dependable running game,...
How did our running game do against those teams? For sure there was a good bit more pressure on the QB in those games. And Clifford was a first year starter as well.
A returning, experienced QB has always been a big advantage for PSU, and is pretty much a big advantage across college football, excluding just a couple of teams that seem to have 4/5 star future star QB's consistently waiting in the wings.
I would single out the OL as the weakest position on offense the last few years, going back to Barkley's days at PSU. We had a generational RB that had more negative yardage running plays than what I remember PSU having going back to the 1960's.
Field an OL that can run the ball against oh-high-ya, Iowa, and UM and our QB will look much better......
I don't think he's in the portal yet.Who’s the next best realistic option for a QB transfer?
