UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- We can talk about Drew Allar all we want. His immense talent. His quick release. His cannon arm. The fact that he's the most heralded new Penn State quarterback since, well, perhaps ever.
You know what Allar cannot do?
He can't catch his own passes. He can't run precise routes. He can't get open downfield against top-flight defensive backs, and then make the game-changing grabs that help lead the Nittany Lions to the College Football Playoff.
Allar needs someone to step up this year and prove that he can do all of those as a legitimate No.
