Drew Allar's career day
Final: Penn State 33, USC 30
Allar surprised his previous career-high of 325 yards passing as he finished 30 of 43 for 391 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw three interceptions, which matched his total from 28 career games entering Saturday's contest. But even after those miscues, Allar kept slinging as he notched career-highs in completions and attempts. he was particularly clutch on Penn State's game-tying drive in the fourth quarter as he found Julian Fleming for a pair of fourth-down completions to extend the drive.
USC did a good job of bottling up Penn State's running back duo of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, which put the onus on Allar to make plays. He rose to the occasion.
