Demond Williams Jr. - Replaces struggling starter Week 11Williams completed six of 10 passes for 60 yards during Saturday's 35-6 defeat to Penn State. He also had 10 rushes for 38 yards.

ImpactWilliams took the reins from the Huskies' struggling starter Will Rogers, who completed 10 of 13 passes for just 59 yards and an interception before being benched in the second half. The true freshman backup quarterback didn't provide a significant boost for the Huskies either, as the team still failed to score a touchdown. Williams has made regular appearances as a change-of-pace rushing quarterback throughout the season, but he's never appeared to truly challenge for the starting job at any point. Head coach Jedd Fisch said postgame that he expects Rogers to maintain the starting job, though it will be worth monitoring if this changes at any point before this coming Friday's home game versus UCLA.

Will Rogers - Benched during blowout lossRogers was 10-for-13 passing for 59 yards and one interception during Saturday's 35-6 defeat to Penn State.

ImpactRogers couldn't make anything happen against Penn State's dominant defense, mustering a season-low in yards per attempt (4.5). The Huskies thus replaced the fifth-year signal-caller in the second half, putting change-of-pace quarterback Demond Williams in for the rest of the game. The true freshman went 6-for-10 passing for 60 yards and logged 10 carries for 38 more yards. Head coach Jedd Fisch said postgame that he expects Rogers to retain the starting job moving forward. However, there's little reason to expect that he'll be overly productive over the team's final two games. After committing just one turnover through the first five games, Rogers has thrown five interceptions and lost one fumble over the last five games. He'll likely need to show some improvements to come away with a win against a resurgent UCLA squad this coming Saturday. However, it's unlikely that he'll be able to make much of an impact no matter his performance in the regular-season finale versus Oregon.

Beau Pribula - Logs rushing score in easy winPribula was 0-for-0 passing for zero yards during Saturday's 35-6 victory versus Washington. He also had one rush for eight yards with one touchdown.

ImpactPribula logged the opening score of the game with an eight-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter. Unlike some past games this season, the backup quarterback didn't work in as a change-of-pace option to starter Drew Allar throughout the game. Instead, do-it-all tight end Tyler Warren continued his impressive season with back-to-back two-yard rushing touchdowns in the second quarter, as he once again took direct snaps as a wildcat rushing threat. Pribula could have a chance to put up more counting stats during what could be a runaway win for the Nittany Lions this coming Saturday at Purdue.

Kaytron Allen - Carries rushing workload Week 11Allen logged 20 rushes for 98 yards and one touchdown and caught one of two targets for eight yards during Saturday's 35-6 win over Washington.

ImpactAllen capped off this win when he scored a one-yard rushing touchdown with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. This marked his fifth rushing touchdown of the season - all of which have come across the last six games. He also logged 20-plus carries for just the second time this season compared to just seven for Nicholas Singleton, who apparently did not finish the game. With Singleton's status up in the air, Allen could be in line for an increased workload once again during next week's game at Purdue. However, he'll still likely have to compete with No. 2 quarterback Beau Pribula and do-it-all tight end Tyler Warren for scoring opportunities on the ground.

Tyler Warren - Scores two rushing TDs in big winWarren logged eight catches on 11 targets for 75 yards and tallied three carries for seven yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-6 victory against Washington.

ImpactWarren kept making a name for himself as perhaps the most versatile offensive player in the Big Ten. The 6-foot-6 senior not only led the Nittany Lions in targets, but he scored two of the team's four rushing touchdowns, as he once again lined up as a wildcat quarterback down the red zone. Offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki has found ways to get Warren the ball in just about any way possible this season. Through 10 games, he's now totaled 59 catches (on 72 targets) and 13 rushing attempts en route to seven total touchdowns and 775 total yards. The do-it-all tight end will look to continue padding his impressive resume during this coming Saturday's road game at Purdue, which has easily been the worst team in the Big Ten this season.

Drew Allar - Efficient outing in Week 11 winAllar completed 20 of 28 passes for 220 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-6 victory over Washington.

ImpactAllar bounced back after his underwhelming outing during last week's loss to Ohio State. The junior signal-caller tallied his second-most passing attempts of any game this season, and he once again established a strong connection with tight end Tyler Warren, who caught eight of 11 targets for 75 yards. Allar also tossed just his 13th passing touchdown of the season when he hit wideout Julian Fleming for an eight-yard score just before halftime. The Nittany Lions scored their other four touchdowns all on the ground, including an eight-yard score for backup quarterback Beau Pribula and back-to-back two-yard scores for Warren, who continued to work in as a wildcat quarterback in the red zone. With these two shouldering the quarterback rushing workload, Allar hasn't had many scoring opportunities on the ground, which has limited his fantasy upside all year. He'll look to pile up the counting stats more during this coming Saturday's game against what has been a dreadful Purdue squad.

Nicholas Singleton - Exits early during Week 11 winSingleton did not finish Saturday's 35-6 win versus Washington due to undisclosed reasons, Max Ralph of Penn Live reports.

ImpactSingleton exited during the third quarter and did not return before the end of Saturday's contest. Head coach James Franklin did not provide any details or updates on the running back's status postgame, but it appeared he left after landing awkwardly on his head and neck on a carry early in the third quarter, according to Ralph. Singleton finished the contest with seven carries for 45 yards and three catches for 14 yards, marking his first game with fewer than 60 total yards this season. Meanwhile, fellow junior running back Kaytron Allen led the team with 20 carries for 98 yards. Franklin mentioned that the next chance for an update on Singleton's health would come during Wednesday's portion of practice that's open to the media.
