Penn State Football started its season off with a 35-31 win over Purdue on Thursday night in a hard-fought game that went down to the wire. By now, we've had plenty of time to review the boxscore and stat lines but how did the team grade out according to PFF (Pro Football Focus).
Nittany Nation has gathered all the data from PFF and put together the full list of grades and snap counts below in order to get a better look at how each player performed versus the Terrapins.

Notably, Sean Clifford's stat line of 20-for-37 for 286 yards and four touchdowns did not carry over to his PFF grade. PFF graded Clifford out at just 56.8 which graded out similarly to the season opener against Wisconsin last season. Though, following last year's season opener, Clifford would go on to have three of his four best performances from the season over the following three weeks. PFF also has Clifford a victim of four drops in the game and an adjusted completion percentage of 70.6%.
