Twitter was a lively place as the Nittany Lions pounded the Golden Gophers in front of a White Out crowd on Saturday night
Early on Beaver Stadium, and Penn State Twitter, were restless. With the Nittany Lion offense off to a slow start, two three-and-outs and an interception on their first three drives, the boo birds were out. This included people calling for Sean Clifford to be benched.
James Franklin and Sean Clifford getting booed, and deservedly so. Two 3 and outs, throwing short of the sticks on 3rd down? Garbage. That isn't what elite programs do.

Going to be a long night if the crowd turns on Penn State this early.
— Ben Jones (@Ben_Jones88) October 22, 2022
Get Clifford out now
— (@TheGOATFollower) October 22, 2022
Two drives, two punts for Penn State so far.

Beaver Stadium crowd is already getting antsy because of the offense's performance early
A shower of boos from the Beaver Stadium crowd as Penn State collects its second straight three-and-out to start the game.

The crowd is ~tense~ when Penn State has the ball.
— Jon Sauber (@JonSauber) October 22, 2022
Sean Clifford just threw a pick. Water is wet
— Seth Brundle (@Miserable_PhD) October 23, 2022
Lots of boos out of the Penn State faithful after that first series. Crowd is in it for the first defensive series.

I’m sorry, that should be the last pass of Sean Clifford’s career. ZERO reason to accept this caliber of play when you have Allar sitting there. #WeAre
— Gene Bromberg (@genebromberg) October 23, 2022
Sean Clifford sucks. We want Allar.

The worst thing about COVID-19 was Sean Clifford getting an extra year of eligibility
— Jim Gardner-Johnson (@DatDudeJD) October 23, 2022
They're playing their 6 year QB to hand it off up the middle on 3rd and 5 instead of playing their 5 star stud QB. Nice.
— Dave (@PghDaRen) October 23, 2022
That should be his last throw ever in Penn State uniform.

Starting with Penn State’s third possession, offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich seemed to finally remember that the Nittany Lions have one of the most talented tight end rooms in the country. Leaning on Tyler Warren, Brenton Strange, and Theo Johnson, the Nittany Lions would get a field goal and two touchdowns on their next three drives. The touchdowns were touchdown grabs by Warren and Johnson, the first of the season for each.
TYLER WARREN

Theo Johnson back in a big way tonight

When the first half dust settled the Nittany Lions led 17-10. Outside of one chunk passing play that was nothing short of a tremendous effort by Minnesota wide receiver Le’Meke Brockington who had Johnny Dixon all over him with great coverage, the Golden Gopher offense was completely stifled. All in all, it was a strong first half for Manny Diaz’s defense. The first half effort was led by linebackers Curtis Jacobs and Abdul Carter who were flying all over the field for the Nittany Lions.
Good work by Penn State’s defense to hold Minnesota to three after the interception.
— Tyler Calvaruso (@tyler_calvaruso) October 23, 2022
Penn State's defense looks dare I say it... E-L-I-T-E

Another 3-and-out for Minnesota. Curtis Jacobs was everywhere that set, making four tackles

Holy hell. Abdul Carter is a manimal.
— T-FrankOn3 (@ThomasFrankCarr) October 23, 2022
Abdul Carter really looks like @MicahhParsons11 and it isn’t just because of the jersey number. The next
— Jacob Waxman (@jacob_waxman) October 23, 2022
Abdul Carter has been EVERYWHERE tonight!!
— Jeremy Scott (@jscoot1130) October 23, 2022
Curtis Jacobs and Abdul Carter have been excellent playing next to each other in the first quarter.
— Alex Rocco (@AlexRocco13_) October 23, 2022
Jacobs has 6 tackles and a tackle for loss while Carter has 3 tackles
In the second half it was all Nittany Lions. This included an impressive performance by Nick Singleton who scored two touchdowns as he flashed his elite potential.
Nick Singleton with another house call. This one was from 30 yards.

Singleton finished the game with 79 yards on 13 carries. This was a healthy 6.1 yards per carry as he scored a pair of touchdowns.
One huge play in the second half was an interception by Ji’Ayir Brown. This interception halted a Minnesota drive that was being mounted with the Golden Gophers trailing 24-10 and looking to get back into the game. Brown now has three interceptions on the season and nine in his Penn State career.
That's Ji'Ayir Brown's third interception this season and his ninth as a Nittany Lion.

The second half also feature a tremendous touchdown grab by Parker Washington as he went up over a Minnesota defender in the end zone to haul it in. This was part of a seven catch, 70 yard night for Washington. His touchdown catch was his first of the season.
