The Nittany Lions are looking to build off of last year’s successful season that ended with a 35-21 win over the Utah Utes in the Rose Bowl, but a lot looks different for Penn State this year. Last year’s starting QB Sean Cliffordhas moved on the the NFL, leaving the former 5-star recruit QB'Drew'Allar'as the starter.
Allar saw limited playing time in his freshman campaign, completing 35 of 60 passes for 344 yards, 4 TDs and 0 INTs. Penn State fans are excited to see what the star-studded sophomore backfield of Allar and RB Nick Singleton'can produce this year.
WVA coach Neal Brown has not said whether Garrett Greene'or Nicco Marchiol will start at QB vs. Penn State, but it appears Greene will get the nod. The junior completed 43 of 78 passes for 493 yards, 5 TDs, and 3 INTs' last year. Marchiol is a redshirt freshman who was 4 for 13 for 61 yards and 1 INT last year.
