Penn State quarterback Drew Allar impressed in his first career start.
The 6-foot-5, 242-pound sophomore continually showed what made him such a coveted recruit. Allar was impressive as he showed the ability to fire the ball on a line or loft one over defenders with touch. He also deftly evaded pressure with his legs and delivered accurate passes on the move.
All in all, it was a very encouraging performance for Allar in his first career start as Penn State hopes to contend for the Big Ten title and a potential College Football Playoff berth in 2023. Other than breaking in a new quarterback, Penn State entered the season with questions about the receiving corps. Was Lambert-Smith ready to be a No. 1 option? Who else would emerge behind him? Well, Lambert-Smith passed his first test as he caught four passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. Elsewhere, Harrison Wallace caught seven passes for 72 yards and Florida State transfer Malik McClain had four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown.
