KEANDRE LAMBERT-SMITH NEWS

Allies over 90 yards again Lambert-Smith caught eight of 12 targets for 95 yards during Saturday's 51-15 victory versus Maryland.

Impact Lambert-Smith logged over 90 receiving yards for the second game in a row, as he once again led the Nittany Lions in all receiving categories Week 10. The junior wideout has been the lone bright spot in Penn State's inefficient passing offense this season, tallying team highs in receptions (51) and yards (645) through nine games. However, he hasn't been the team's go-to scoring threat through the air, as the team's tight ends Tyler Warren and Theo Johnson have repeatedly hauled in the red-zone scores for this offense. Lambert-Smith's yards per reception (12.6) have stagnated similar to the rest of Penn State's passing offense. He'll look to avoid a repeat of the somewhat underwhelming stat line he had against Ohio State in Week 8 when the Nittany Lions welcome Michigan to Happy Valley this coming Saturday.

Catches late 57-yard score in win Lambert-Smith logged six receptions (on eight targets) for 96 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 33-24 win against Indiana.

Impact Lambert-Smith came up big late with his second-longest reception of the season, catching a pass deep down the sideline for a 57-yard touchdown that put Penn State up 31-24 with just under two minutes remaining. This marked just the second 40-plus yard completion of the season for the Nittany Lions offense, which has struggled to any consistency or explosiveness this year. Lambert-Smith has been far and away the team's best receiver this season, but he's failed to record over 100 yards since the season opener, and he's logged just two receiving touchdowns over the last five games. He and quarterback Drew Allar (20-for-31 passing, 210 yards, three touchdowns) will look to connect on more big passes this coming week versus Maryland.

No. 10 Penn State gets late TD pass from Drew Allar, escapes Indiana, 33-24

Drew Allar threw three touchdowns, including a 57-yarder to KeAndre Lambert-Smith, as No. 10 Penn beat Indiana, 33-24.

Only reliable target in loss Lambert-Smith totaled six receptions (on 12 targets) for 52 yards during Saturday's 20-12 defeat against Ohio State.

Impact Lambert-Smith once again served as the top receiver for quarterback Drew Allar (18-for-42 passing, 191 yards, one touchdown). Penn State's passing offense has struggled to establish any downfield explosiveness this season, and the issue reared its ugly head in this marquee matchup. The junior wideout has now caught 24 of 40 targets over the last four games, but he's averaged only 58.5 receiving yards per game over that span.

Leads Nittany Lions in targets Lambert-Smith recorded six receptions (on nine targets) for 30 yards during Saturday's 63-0 victory over Massachusetts.

Impact Lambert-Smith paced Penn State in both targets and receptions. However, his overall production was still severely limited by the team's lack of downfield passing, as he logged a season-low five yards per reception. Through six games this season, Lambert-Smith has logged over twice as many receptions (31) and receiving yards (402) as Penn State's next closest pass catcher -- tight end Theo Johnson. Lambert-Smith will likely need to help carry this limited passing attack during this coming Saturday's massive divisional matchup versus Ohio State.

Scores 88-yard TD in Rose Bowl Lambert-Smith hauled in all three targets for 124 yards and one touchdown during Monday's 35-21 win versus Utah in the Rose Bowl.

Impact Lambert-Smith tied with Harrison Wallace III for the third-most targets amongst Penn State's wideouts, as Mitchell Tinsley (nine) served as the No. 1 wideout with Parker Washington (undisclosed) still out. However, Lambert-Smith put the game away on the first play of the fourth quarter, beating a Utah safety over the top before catching a deep pass on his way to a walk-in 88-yard touchdown. Running back Kaytron Allen then put the Nittany Lions up 35-14 when he scored a one-yard touchdown run on the team's following offensive series. This also set the third-year wideout's career high for receiving yards in a game. He also finished third on the team in receiving yards (389) this season behind Washington and Tinsley and fourth in receptions behind tight end Theo Johnson. With Tinsley now heading to the 2023 NFL Draft, Lambert-Smith should enter the 2023 season as one of the top receiving options for new starting quarterback Drew Allar.

Dealing with leg injury Coach James Franklin said Tuesday that he's "hopeful" Lambert-Smith (leg) is able to play against Michigan, Sam Cohn of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Lambert-Smith barely saw the field against Northwestern before being ruled out with a leg injury, but it appears the issue is minor. The sophomore wideout caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown during the season opener, but he's secured just five passes for 46 yards over his past four appearances.
