Penn State quarterback Drew Allar's growth and development has the Nittany Lions in a position to beat Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff and compete for a national championship.

That's certainly the case for the Penn State offense on Thursday night. Quarterback Drew Allar threw for 171 passing yards and three scores against Boise State in Arizona and was able to get all phases of the offense going. But he was also sacked four times.

While he recently stated plans to return to college, a weak quarterback class and impressive playoff performances could be enough to make him reconsider entering the draft. He would immediately become a legitimate option for the Silver and Black.

Even when Penn State quarterback Drew Allar gets some praise, it’s usually a backhanded compliment. They say he’s a good game manager and stays within himself, or that he doesn’t try to do too much.

Penn State tight end Tyler Warren caught two touchdown passes against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, giving him eight for the season.

Dane Brugler reports several NFL general managers believe Penn State QB Drew Allar could declare to enter the 2025 NFL Draft with a strong playoff run.

Penn State football heads into the 2025 Orange Bowl against Notre Dame with the chance to play for its first national championship since 1986. The Nittany Lions are led by head coach James Franklin who’s in his eleventh season with the program.
