he has always had problems over throwing the ball. he has bad mechanics and ends up skying the ball. Plus really bad game awareness
It's actually quite reasonable.
I don’t doubt for a minute that it will happen. Might wait until after spring, but I’d lay 5-1 he leaves (Assuming Allar and Pribula both enroll this month).
What is Clifford, 24 years old going on 16? At that age it's time to move on into the real world.
Should have been 17-7 at half that was BIG
Why should he stay? Where is his window of opportunity? Franklin is fixated on Clifford as the starter and an offensive philosophy that continues to fail miserably. The team lacks a mentality of toughness. As someone previously mentioned, "explosive plays" is not an offensive philosophy.
Nothing has changed, KJ hamler made him look good the year they had 11 wins.
You obviously have PSUgo823 on ignore then
You can say that again. Was at the game today and observed guys getting wide open all day, he doesn’t see them or he waits way too long to get it there. It was obvious to me what the issue is, it’s #14. And teams do not respect him and overload the box making it near impossible to get a running game going. We definitely need better offensive linemen but the running game isn’t going to be fixed until we’re a threat in the passing game
When it comes to the QB and the lack of a running game, the buck stops with Franklin. Not with Clifford, not the OL, not the assistant coaches.
I agree, which is why I added a 1/4 of an observation on the run game. I’m talking about missed easy throws by a 3 year starting QB.
Maddening to see Clifford scramble, do a good job evading a rush, and then fail to locate a receiver or miss badly. Not a good thrower on the run.
With the kicker who was never your long guy. Somebody thought they were being cute running Pinegar out there.
It's a mixed bag with SC. Agree he doesnt see the field and open receivers at times. But he scrambles and creates plays too.
17-3 if the false start was called on 3rd down leading to Ark td
I think that had something to do with the preceding play. Arkansas brought the house on a blitz that looked totally obvious. Clifford was called for intentional grounding and it turned out to be a 50-yd attempt instead of a 37-yd attempt for which Pinegar had been warming up for. Yeah, he's not the guy for a long FG.
Good explanation. You’re probably correct. You’d think they’d both be getting ready though.
Post game Franklin said that Pinegar was the FG kicker and that had been decided before the last game of the season. Stout “had too much on his plate.”
It would be bettor to use next your to develop a q by with a higher ceiling.
Why not? Why waste a year hanging onto a player who can not take you where you need to go? Five years is more than enough. I remember when OSU won a championship with their 3rd string qb. Time for better player development at EVERY POSITION BUT WR AND DBs.
Great coaching, figuring that out for the last game of the year. Brilliant.
You cannot take the chance of throwing Allar out there next year. Our OL will break him before he has a chance to develop. Seriously the kid will get killed and or develop poor habits.
