Video of Allar jogging, diving onto a pad, and throwing deep balls came out of Wednesdays’s practice. DDS was not seen during open time.
Allar and DDS updates

I saw the video of Allar. He looked good in the limited video released. I would guess he is playing. DDS is a long shot, I fear. A groin injury on a big, powerful guy who makes a living exploding out of a three point stance sounds like it may take a little more time to heal. Just my $.02. I hope Donkoh is ready to go also.
Did note that Allar was diving off his right leg, not the injured left. I expect both QBs to play making the nuts adjust during the game.
Donkoh is the mvp of this team (due to coach K’s scheme) and destined for Olu greatness after next season. Huge loss if he can’t go this week.
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar was a full participant during media weekly 15-minute Wednesday afternoon look at Nittany Lions practice. After missing the second half of a 28-13 win at Wisconsin last Saturday, the junior participated in a variety of drills that indicate he is taking positive steps toward being available versus Ohio State.
We initially witnessed Allar working through a ball security drill that required him to jog back and forth through simulated contact, then another in which he dove onto a padded bag. Allar then worked in tandem with running backs in rushing drills, and next threw several passes to Penn State receivers, including a couple of deep targets.
Simply put, it was business as usual for Allar during our observation periods.

Very well could be.... we all know how much JF keeps injury status quiet. He wants to have the other team having to prepare for multiple qb's and in this case they are quite different.
I actually thought he gave more information about the three key injuries yesterday than normal.
I hope they dont waist the first and half the second period before taking out Allar and being down 10 points.
So first offensive snap, both Drew and Beau will be standing side-by-side behind the center, daring tOSU to guess who will get the snap.
I hope that doesn't happen but it could. Allar says he's good to go and Franklin thinks he's out best shot. Then he takes a few hits and realizes he can't do it..
Do we have any other options at RT besides Rucci? He looked, ummm, a little slow footed out there Saturday night.
Probably not. JB? Also, TFrank was clear on the BWI Youtube video that Donkoh playing hurt was not helpful to the team. We need him at full health.
