Bounces back in near upset Allar completed 20 of 31 passes for 210 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 33-24 victory over Indiana. He also had eight rushes for five yards. Impact Allar responded with one of their better offensive performances after showing little life against Ohio State last week. The sophomore quarterback logged one touchdown in the first half with a nine-yard pass to tight end Khalil Dinkins, as the Nittany Lions led just 17-14 at halftime. Allar continued to rely on his tight ends in the second half, hitting Theo Johnson for a 16-yard score in the third quarter. Penn State's passing offense has heavily relied on its tight ends this season, as top Johnson, Dinkins and Warren have accounted for 10 of the team's 19 receiving touchdowns this season. However, Allar finally found success going deep when he hit top wideout KeAndre Lambert-Smith for a 57-yard touchdown to go up 31-24. This marked the team's second reception of 40-plus yards this season. Allar and the Nittany Lions will look for some more explosiveness against Maryland in Week 10.
