Watch: Penn State quarterback Drew Allar discusses win over Bowling Green

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar threw two touchdowns in Penn State’s 34-27 win over Bowling Green on Saturday. He discusses the offense’s explosive plays and what challenges the opponent put in front of them during the game.

The third-year quarterback threw 13 completions for 204 yards and two TDs in the effort. Allar also had two potential touchdowns negated by an offensive pass interference call against receiver Omari Evans in the third quarter. Allar also threw an on-target pass to top receiver Trey Wallace, who didn’t make a play at the catch point.

Penn State quarterback dissects his interception

Aside from a 23-yard sack that Allar gave up extending a play, the biggest blemish of his day was a red zone interception. He broke that play down for reporters after the game.

“There’s going to be some plays I’m going to want to have back. Obviously, I had an interception. Honestly, it was a really good play by the DB. I thought it was going to be Cover 0. It looked like Cover 0. I was like ‘Alright, I’m going to give Trey a shot.” The corner that was to the field outside of Trey did a really good job of reacting to the throw in the air. So obviously, I’d like to have that back, see that quicker.”

But I thought I played pretty clean overall.”

Explosive plays the name of the game once again

Penn State’s offense found yardage in the game, gathering 188 rushing yards on runs of 10-plus during the game. Likewise, in the passing game, 148 of Drew Allar’s 204 yards came on completions over 15 yards. Despite the aggressive passing attack, Allar still managed to complete 65% of his throws on the afternoon, which is the second time he’s produced a quality completion percentage in two games.

However, the third quarter produced some frustrating results for the team. Allar took a 23-yard sack while trying to extend a play on third down. That sack negated all of the yardage that the team gained on that drive, allowing Bowling Green better field position on the next drive.

After putting together a comprehensive scoring drive on the next possession, Allar had a chance to end the game at the end of the third quarter. But he threw his ill-advised pass that he described above.

The defense then shut the door in the fourth quarter, grabbing two interceptions, one of which set up the decisive score from Nick Singelton on a 41-yard touchdown run.

All has thrown for just over 420 yards in two games but averages nearly 18 yards per completion.
