It’s also a game that the third-ranked Nittany Lions don’t know who they’ll have starting for them at quarterback for until moments before kickoff.
Penn State starting quarterback Drew Allar is a “game-time decision” for Saturday’s top-5 ranked contest in Happy Valley after he sustained a knee injury just before halftime in last week’s game vs. Wisconsin that kept him out for the second half.

Through seven games this season, Allar has completed 71.3% of his passes while throwing for 1,640 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding 129 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
