Clifford, who went 23-for-43 for 340 yards and one touchdown, connected with Jahan Dotson for 49 yards to get Penn State to the 11. Two plays later, however, came the drive-killer. Daniel George was called for offensive pass interference during an over-the-middle catch by Brown that reached the 2. Clifford, who was off-target for most of the day, overthrew George on the next play before Howden’s game-sealing pick. Clifford, who came into the game leading the Big Ten in total offense, had only three interceptions in the first eight games.
