Penn State’s performance raises questions about their prospects of making the CFP, Lions running backs are outstanding, and more

Football at Penn State is a topic of conversation both nationally and locally following their victory over Bowling Green on Saturday. Many players with the Nittany Lions are receiving recognition. But following Beaver Stadium’s 34-27 victory, doubts are raised about the team as a whole.

Walter Football, which goes deep on NFL Draft prospects and forecasts, projects Allar as a finalist for the 2024 Penn State’s. Allar, a junior who enters his second season as Penn State’s starter, joins a projected list composed entirely of quarterbacks: Georgia’s Carson Beck, Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and predicted winner Jalen Milroe of Alabama.
