Voted for Clifford because I think he gives us the better chance to win. I think Allar can probably lead us to victory too, but Clifford has the experience. Finding a delicate balance between prepping for next year and finishing strong is difficult and I don't envy Franklin. As long as Clifford is winning he plays IMO. The difference between 10 wins and 9 is massive (wrt recruiting/optics); the difference between 9-8 not so much.

Clifford starts and if PSU gets up by 2 TD's, then Allar comes in, though, it's really Clifford wearing an Allar mask. Everyone in favor of Allar playing (such as myself) is now delighted. TIC.

Face-wearing. I like it.

Yeah that’s why I think Cliff starts the rest of the way. Best chance at 10-2, and that’s important. But he’s got a quick leash. A 2 score lead I think gets the yank, as opposed to what I think was a 14 point lead earlier

People seem to be answering what they think will happen as opposed to what THEY would do

this game is slightly unusual. we have only 1 healthy OL from the original 5. We are on the road, and it is also windy with rain predicted. If this game were at home, clear skies, no wind and all OL full strength, for me it is time for Drew to takeover. the situation impacts this quite a bit. Even if Clifford starts I see this game as very close = Northwestern 2.0

Given the woeful state of PSU’s OL, QB’s are going to get injured.

It might as well be Clifford.

Drew Allar because there is very little to lose now that PSU is out of the BIG championship and CFP.

THat thinking is so 80’s. A road game against a pitiful team… what better opportunity could there ever be?
