After a 30-0 victory over a regional rival, you would think there are plenty of high marks to award around the Penn State roster. And there are! But the final score and box score shows that the game was fueled by a strong effort by a freshman running back and a dominant defense while other areas of the roster sort of coasted on their wings. Sometimes that is OK though, especially when the rain starts coming into the picture.
Here is a look at the position grades for Penn State following its Week 11 victory over Maryland.

Grade: B-
Sean Clifford didn’t exactly do much in the game, outside of becoming the school’s new all-time leading passer, but he also didn’t really have to. All in all, this was an average game at best form the sixth-year senior, and that is OK given the matchup and result.
Drew Allar got a little more than a quarter of playing time as well, but he also didn’t have to do too much other than get Penn State to the finish line as the rain started coming down. Christian Veilleux actually finished the game.
