Some instant reactions from No. 7 Penn State's dismantling of FCS opponent Delaware on Saturday.
are viewed as co-starters, Franklin gave Allen the starting nod. In the day and age of the transfer portal, managing egos and emotions is a huge part of the game, too. The fact that Franklin was so outward and direct with his words about Allen surprised me. It also led me to believe the coaches would try to get Allen a deserved start.• Allen and Singleton both again looked good. That’s not new or surprising, but both should enter conference play with a lot of confidence.
Yes, it was an FCS opponent, but this backfield is in great shape. And consider this: Singleton’s longest rush this season is 14 yards. Allen’s is 19.

Allar completed 22-of-26 passes for 204 yards and had two total touchdowns. Allar added 27 yards on the ground. Penn State scored five touchdowns on five red-zone trips in the first half.
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar threw for 204 yards and had two total touchdowns Saturday against Delaware. • Franklin has been criticized for keeping his starting quarterback in games too long. This was not one of those instances. It was managed perfectly and played out exactly as I expected. • One of many things that’s impressing me with Allar is how well he’s spreading the ball around. He threw passes to eight players in the first half. He sees the field so well and doesn’t lock in on any one receiver. The moment that stands out the most is how easily he ran the offense with 1:14 left in the half. There was no panic, which has been a theme with him, too. On that late series in the first half, Allar picked up 13 yards with his legs.
