Penn State’s No. 3 quarterback, Drew Allar, left Saturday’s game at Wisconsin late in the first half with an apparent knee injury.
Allar went to the locker room shortly before halftime as Wisconsin took a 10-7 halftime lead. He returned to the bench in the second half, but was replaced in the third quarter by backup quarterback Beau Pribula. While Pribula took photos for the Nittany Lions, Allar watched from the sidelines.
Allar was 14 of 18 for 148 yards and a touchdown before he was injured and someone apparently said something to him as he headed to the tunnel before the first half ended.
Allar has improved significantly in 2024 in his first season under new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. After completing less than 60% of his passes a season ago and struggling in big games, Allar entered Saturday night’s game with a 70.5% completion percentage and was averaging more than 10 yards per attempt. A season ago, he averaged just 6.8 yards per throw.
Pribula was a three-star recruit in the class of 2022. The Pennsylvania native was the No. 15 player in the state when he signed with the Nittany Lions.
