Penn State football put together a solid performance on offense that led to a 38-15 win over West Virginia on Saturday night at Beaver Stadium. What most didn't expect was that first-time starter Drew Allar would be the person to lead the offense to victory. His running backs took a backseat to Allar's precise passing and great field awareness. So today we'll start with the Penn State passing game in T-Frank's film room. We'll break down how offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich used formations and the defense's own rules to create explosive plays. We'll also review where Allar shined and where he can improve for the next game.
