The Nittany Lions fell three spots following their defeat at the hands of Ohio State on Saturday.
"We battled. That's who we are, that's really who we have been for six years, and that's how my teams have been for nine years."
James Franklin said that Clifford could've returned to Saturday's game, but he elected to keep him out because of Will Levis' strong play and Clifford's lack of mobility due to injury.
Franklin told ESPN's College GameDay that Hamler's availability for Saturday's big game against Ohio State will be a "medical gameday decision."
Menet has played in all 10 of Penn State's games this year, but FOX 43 reported that he'll sit out against the Buckeyes due to an undisclosed injury.
Ohio State has the best offense and defense in all of college football, and those units have propelled the team to a flawless 10-0 start to the 2019 season.
