Penn State QB Drew Allar Delivers Inconsistent Performance vs FIU

Penn State secured a 34-0 victory over Florida International despite a subpar offensive performance led by quarterback Drew Allar. Allar completed 19 of 33 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, but his 58% completion rate and inconsistent throws contributed to the team's struggles, particularly on third downs where Penn State converted only 3 of 12 attempts. Head coach James Franklin and Allar himself acknowledged the lack of rhythm and missed routine throws, with Allar taking responsibility for the offense's sluggish start and his own mistakes. Though the offense improved in the second half, the early struggles raised concerns given the non-conference opponent's lower competitiveness. Analysts and fans have continued to scrutinize Allar’s leadership and consistency, noting his uneven performance contrasts with moments that highlight his NFL potential. Despite these issues, Penn State remains undefeated at 2-0, but much of the offense's efficiency depends on Allar improving his execution and decision-making.
