Drew Allar made the costly mistake of throwing into coverage across the middle of the field in the Orange Bowl on Thursday night. It cost Penn State a shot at playing in the national championship game.

“It was a huge mistake by Drew Allar,” commentator Greg McElroy said. “Works all the way back and you can never throw a line over the middle, it doesn’t matter what the circumstances are. You want to make a play for your team, but you cannot throw it blind from that far away.’

Dane Brugler reports several NFL general managers believe Penn State QB Drew Allar could declare to enter the 2025 NFL Draft with a strong playoff run.
