Saturday was Senior Day for Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford. A sixth-year senior who has started for four seasons for the Nittany Lions, Clifford is an old man in college football. That’s a fact that one of Penn State’s assistants noticed and decided to troll Clifford for on Twitter.

Danny O’Brien, an offensive analyst for Penn State, made fun of Sean Clifford by tweeting out a goodbye to him and posting a team picture. He used a red circle to show where Clifford was in the photo. The problem is that it wasn’t Clifford and the team photo was in black and white.

Based on the football being held, it appears that the photo is from 1896 and not 2017 when Clifford originally got to Happy Valley.

“Seems like just yesterday you showed up on campus,” Danny O’Brien wrote. “One hell of a run and a lot to be proud of! Love you bud @seancliff14.”

That’s some expert-level trolling by the Penn State assistant coach.

Sean Clifford has had a great career at Penn State. With a bowl game remaining, Clifford threw for 10,382 yards and 84 touchdowns during his time at Happy Valley. Both of those are records at Penn State. Clifford also holds the program records for passing attempts, completions, and completion percentage.

James Franklin on his emotions with this senior class

This senior class for Penn State is an important one for head coach James Franklin. He explained why he has found seeing this group move on as emotional.

“They’ve kind of been through a bunch. And obviously, everyone in the country went through this to a degree. As we know, different athletic departments and different states handle things differently. But they’ve seen it all; they really have,” James Franklin said.

“And specifically, the guys that have been here six years. That’s a lot of time to spend together. It’s somewhat unusual, I’ve been doing this for a long time, but I still struggle with that. The guys moving on have been fortunate; when you’re able to stay at the same school for a long time, that helps because the guys come back. I still have people that come and visit that I coached at Vanderbilt, Maryland, and other places.”
