Penn State quarterback Drew Allar and offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki have combined to push the Nittany Lions' passing game downfield more often.
Many Penn State football fans feel that 2024 is a “prove it” year for Drew Allar in his second season as the starting quarterback. Through the first two weeks, the Nittany Lions are 2-0 under new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki’s scheme. And in the new offense, Allar has shown off his strong arm with more deep shots.
“There’s more shots these first two weeks than we did in the past, but I think we’ve done a good job of when those shots are happening, we’re hitting them,” Allar said this week. “I think it’s just a credit to Coach K and the offensive staff really, getting the primaries open for me when we’re taking those shots so then I’m able to take those shots downfield.”
“I think we’re doing some really nice things scheme-wise, but I also think Drew’s gotten better as well,” Franklin said. “I think it’s probably a combination of both.” “Coach Franklin says you’re not watching film to watch your highlights or get mad at yourself for something you did wrong,” Allar said. “It’s more looking at the defense and their adjustments and playing off that. … I feel like it just helps the whole offense as a whole.”
