Main content
Drew Allar did a great job as Penn State's starting quarterback in his first game. He completed 21 of his 29 passes and had 325 yards, three touchdowns, and no picks.
Allar and wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith worked well together all night.
On Penn State's first drive of the game, they connected for a 72-yard touchdown pass, which was the longest pass of Allar's career.
On four catches, Lambert-Smith got 123 receiving yards and a career-high two touchdowns, both of which were his best ever.
The Nittany Lions' offense was well-balanced, with 332 yards through the air and 146 yards on the ground.
Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen, two great running backs, ran for a total of 121 yards (70 for Singleton and 51 for Allen). Singleton ran for a touchdown in the second quarter, which was the best thing he did on the ground all day.
Malik McClain got 58 yards and caught a touchdown pass, and Harrison Wallace III added 72 yards by catching a team-high seven passes.
In the last few seconds of the fourth quarter, quarterback Beau Pribula ran five yards to score his first college touchdown.
West Virginia's offense was limited to 15 points and 310 yards by Penn State's defense. The Mountaineers were only able to score on four of their 14 third-down chances.
The Nittany Lions stopped West Virginia on three fourth-down plays and limited their passing game to just 167 yards.
All three linebackers, Dominic DeLuca, Curtis Jacobs, and Abdul Carter, got sacks. Jacobs had ten stops, which was the most on the team. Linebacker Kobe King had five.
Each of Zakee Wheatley, Jaylen Reed, and Cam Miller stopped at four different places.
Conclusion
Penn State's win over West Virginia was a good way for the Nittany Lions to start the season. Allar proved he could be a strong quarterback, and the offense looked balanced and effective.
The defense also did a good job. For most of the game, West Virginia's offense couldn't do much. Next week, Penn State will play Ohio State, which will be a harder test, but the Nittany Lions should feel good after their first win.
