Penn State football fans showed in big numbers for the Lions’ 2023 season opener against West Virginia under the lights at Beaver Stadium.
They’ve been treated thus far to a solid all-around effort and an encouraging debut performance from quarterback Drew Allar. The opponent was a draw as a former regional rival, and so was the anticipation of a Penn State contender. While it wasn’t an official Whiteout in Happy Valley, the helmet stripe crowd has looked and felt like one.
As of the 7:40 mark in the fourth quarter, Penn State holds a 31-7 lead and owns a 447-225 advantage in total yards in an effort that’s been more dominant than the scoreboard indicates. Allar has three touchdown passes to go with 325 yards through the air on 21 of 29 passing.
