Penn State quarterback Drew Allar unveiled his animated side vs. West Virginia. The Nittany Lions loved it.
Barely four minutes into the 2024 Penn State football season, quarterback Drew Allar was hot. Allar clapped into an official's face, asserting that a West Virginia defensive player had clapped to mimic Penn State's snap cadence which led to his fumbling the ball. Sure, Allar gets angry. Rarely, though, had he he shown it to that extent on the field.
Allar, Penn State's second-year starting quarterback, brought a different energy to Penn State's 34-12 win at West Virginia to open the season. He clapped more, pointed more, talked more to the Mountaineers' defense, threw a stiff-arm and generally carried himself with more presence. A reporter used the word "demonstrative" Monday in asking Franklin about seeing this new side of Allar. Franklin smiled.
One of those spots arrived in the fourth quarter, with Penn State leading 27-12 and Allar taking a draw on 3rd-and-3. The quarterback stiff-armed Josiah Trotter, West Virginia's 238-pound linebacker, and eluded his tackle for a 3-yard gain and the first down. Afterward, Allar got up and shared some observations with the Mountaineers' defensive players. Penn State's sideline lit up, and Beau Pribula threw a touchdown pass to tight end Tyler Warren two plays later.
