what the frick is that supposed to mean?



I was trying to think of what "Big Game" Clark has won at Penn St, and last year's OSU game is the best I could come up with. But in that game he was a non-factor really, and the backup led them on the game winning drive after Clark Left.

He seems to be a non-factor in their biggest games:
OSU: 12/28, 125 yards, 1 int, 0 td
Iowa: 12/32, 198 yards, 3 int, 1 td
USC (Rose Bowl last year): 21/36, 273 yards, 2 int, 3 td (most came after USC was up 31-7 and called off the dogs)
Iowa (last year): 9/23, 86 yards, 1 int, 0 td
OSU (last year): 12/20, 121 yards, 0 int, 0 td


That stats seem to back up my opinion that Clark just isn't that good of a QB in big games, even though he is regarded as a "threat"

Clark has won more big games than that. This stat is bandied about but they always leave out MSU this year and last, both about 30 point wins. This year PSU was fighting for a BCS berth and last year they were shooting for the Big Ten Crown. They won against Illinois at night in 08 when that was considered a big game, and beat Oregon State by about 35.

They did lose against Iowa in 08 and 08, and OSU in 09, and the Rose bowl. But there were other big games that Clark performed very well.

I'd have to check the stats from the Rose bwol, but he had a pretty decent game then also.
