Game Thread tOSU at Penn State, Sat. Nov. 2, 12pm ET, FOX

The only hope is OSU was keeping things close to the vest and just playing well enough to win. Hopefully Day and staff maybe treated the Neb game like Western Xichigan, and didn't take it as seriously as they should have, and just focused on tweaks.

However, Day referenced the Neb game as a match game, which makes me think they did take this as a serious game.

Really hoping that game was an anomaly.

I hope so too. I did find it odd that they struggled and as soon as Nebraska took the lead they shot down the field with what looked like schemed up plays they hadn't used.

It all comes down to LT. If they can't find anyone who's even serviceable and a way to scheme around it, all the returning talent will be wasted. Doubt Jackson will be great, but hopefully he won't get bullied and Siereveld has played well enough at guard to make it possible.

Drew Allar injury update: What did Penn State coach James Franklin say about the Lions QB?​

Penn State coach James Franklin had little in the way of an update about injured starting quarterback Drew Allar following the team’s 28-13 win over Wisconsin. But, he did decide what went into the decision not to bring him out for the second half.

“I’m not going to get into a whole lot of medical stuff right now, especially when I don’t have a whole lot of information,” Franklin said. “I wouldn’t necessarily describe it [as being precautionary]. It was, is he going to be mobile enough to give us a chance to run the offense the way we [want]?

“It really came down to Drew once he came out. I asked him to be very honest, and he just didn’t feel like he was [ready to play]. Like at the end of the half there you saw even throwing was challenging.”

Allar seemed to be in good spirits after the game despite what he is dealing with. Allar wore a left knee brace, which wasn’t present in the first half, during the second half. He shed it to sing the alma mater, though, and walk to the locker room.

Drew Allar seen on video cussing someone out after injury.​

A very bizarre moment unfolded as Allar went to the locker room. He was caught on the NBC broadcast cussing someone out.

"Hey, who the f*ck are you? Sit the f*ck down," Allar appeared to say after turning around to confront someone that couldn't be seen on the camera.



To be clear, it's not known who Allar was cussing out. When watching it live, I at first thought he was yelling at a teammate given where he was on the field.

Someone quickly told me he thought he was yelling at a member of Wisconsin's band/cheer section. On the surface, that certainly makes a lot more sense.

What we do know for sure is that Allar was *NOT* happy. He made a point to turn around and confront the person who grabbed his attention.

Just sayin': Not a real classy act there.
