The Penn State Nittany Lions have one win in a hostile environment this season. The USC Trojans will bring a different challenge.
Penn State will get a second glimpse of summer when it travels to Los Angeles to face USC for the first time as Big Ten opponents. But first, the Nittany Lions practiced one last time Wednesday in the October chill of State College.
“There's a lot riding on this season, of course, for everybody. But I think the reality is, it's so cool that we get to fly out to California and take on a team like that,” center Nick Dawkins said. “When able to stack these quality wins and play against different teams like that, it does add a different component of confidence.”
“I always thought it was a super cool stadium, a super cool place to imagine at one day,” Clifford said. “I remember playing the old NCAA game back in the day, picking the Coliseum. It's a historic place. I'm excited to play there.
That adaptability has especially been a defining characteristic of the wide receiver corps, which has seen three different leaders in yards in five games. Clifford, coming off a career-high 107 receiving yards against UCLA, said whether he has 200 yards or zero, he shows up the next week with the same focus.
