No. 3 Penn State QB 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 lead into the break. He returned to the sideline in the second half, but was replaced by backup quarterback Beau Pribula in the third quarter. As Pribula took snaps for the Nittany Lions, Allar watched from the sidelines.
Allar was 14 of 18 for 148 yards and a TD before he got hurt and someone apparently said something to him as he walked to the tunnel before the first half was over.
Allar has improved significantly in 2024 in his first season under new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. After completing fewer than 60% of his passes a season ago and struggling in big plays, Allar entered Saturday night’s game with a 70.5% completion percentage and averaging over 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.
