Overview

  • Penn State fell 30-24 in overtime to No. 6 Oregon, with Drew Allar going 14-of-25 for 137 yards, two touchdowns and the OT interception that ended the game.
  • Social-media reaction from Penn State fans skewed critical, with many suggesting the team would be better with former backup Beau Pribula.
  • Pribula, now starting at Missouri, has 1,203 passing yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions through five wins, compared with Allar’s 763 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions in four games.
  • Allar had confirmed in January that he would return for his senior season after evaluating the NFL and receiving inconsistent draft grades.
  • His NIL valuation is reported at $3.5 million with endorsement deals, which trails typical first-round NFL rookie contracts reported for 2025 quarterbacks.
