CharlemagneOfTheUSA	6	Movement: (0) - Allar may just be the real deal, and that is absolutely huge for a Penn State offense that has been begging for elite QB play to really make this team scary. Games against Michigan and Ohio State will obviously decide where things really go, but it is easy to be optimistic down in Happy Valley.

bretticus33	7	Penn State lived up to the hype in the opening game of 2023. The defense was strong and Drew Allar put on a show. Now that Penn State finally has a QB, might they finally conquer UM and OSU?

texas2089	7	The Drew Allar era in Happy Valley opened up with an impressive 325 yard, 3 TD performance against West Virginia. The Nittany Lions defense played well and this team looks to be every bit as formidable as we thought they were. Ohio State and Michigan on alert.

ScaratheBear	6	The result: Drew Allar had about as good of a game as you could have for a first year starter, as he went 21/29 for 325 yards and 3 TD. It wasn't a perfect day for Penn State, WVU hung around for a little longer than expected, but the ultimate result wasn't ever really in question and Penn State pulled away in the 2nd half for a big win. The reasoning: Penn State looks good, and I considered swapping them and Ohio State. Both teams allowed a less talented but feisty team to hang around for a little longer than expected, but Ohio State's defensive effort gets the nod. Next up: Delaware comes to Happy Valley for a noon game. Don't be super surprised if the Blue Hens stick around for a little longer than most expect, too. They're a solid FCS team.

throwaway_6786	8	Solid overall win, though it was a touchdown game at halftime. Still a little worried about the WR room, but Allar looked pretty good for his first meaningful game. PSU slides down a spot, but only because the USC offense looks so damn good. We'll learn more about this team in the Illinois/Iowa games in a few weeks.
