Drew Allar is the real fucking deal. I'm liking what I'm seeing with Penn State so far. We'll see if it keeps on working in conference play!

texas2089 7 The Nittany Lions dominated FCS Delaware, holding the Blue Hens to just 140 yards of total offense. Drew Allar posted another solid outing and Kaytron Allen rushed for 103 of Penn State's 315 yards on the ground. Penn State opens Big Ten play next week in Champaign. The biggest question is how many overtimes will we see this time?

Tornadohunter24 3 This past weekend, Penn State decided to make an example out of FCS Delaware, brutalizing them 63-7 in front of the Nittany Lion faithful. While a less impressive showing than their 3-score victory over rival West Virginia in front of that same crowd, it was still an impressive demonstration of their offensive prowess nonetheless. This weekend, they’ll play their first game away from Beaver Stadium by traveling to Illinois to start off B1G play in what has the makings of a trap game, seeing as this noontime bout is immediately followed up by a battle against offensively-challenged but defensively-stout Iowa. We’ll see what Drew Allar can muster in his first B1G game of his career (get it? :P) as the rushing attack received a lot more attention in the Delaware beatdown, but all signs point to Penn State having the opportunity to win the B1G for the first time since 2016.
charmingcharles2896 4 The Nittany Lions continued to take care of business. Drew Allar looks really good, that defense is nasty.

ScaratheBear 6 (0) Cupcake win. Drew Allar looks really good, the ground game ran for over 300 yards, the defense held Delaware to 140 yards. Schedule turns back up a notch as they travel to Illinois. Don't know if this Penn State team has any really notable weaknesses, but I'm keeping them below Ohio State until proven otherwise.
