It makes you wonder if perhaps we would be in a much better spot with Pribula. I don’t think he would shat himself under the pressure of Oregon or OSU.

What happens if Beau struggles when MIZZOU. o_O plays a team with a pulse?

Never mind. I know. We suck anyway. 😞

Tre Wallace also having another big game.

When do we get to the point where we stop blaming the players and start looking at the system and coaching?
When do we get away from the point of players just not delivering and doing what they are asked to do in a game? You're working with one game of data here.

I have no doubt that Allar was coached to be tentative and throw off his back foot against fiu.

This is a major step for this board - used to be, the 2nd string QB was the favorite - now it's the QB of another team.
It’s universal in college and the professional levels that the least popular player on the team is the starting QB!

But the top coaches would figure out a way to get him to knock that off by his senior year.


The standard is hopefully far above "don't be a buffoon"

Good for Beau, obviously someone over there (or just Beau on his own) has really put some work in to improve his arm strength and accuracy. Watching him here at PSU, both in games and at an occasional practice he did not have the arm strength or accuracy needed to make the big throws. He was definitely a run first QB, but wasn't even as good of a thrower as Trace and we should all agree he had average arm strength and accuracy. Like Trace though, he appears to be a gamer and able to make plays when needed.

He ran a lot in his role, in the Penn State offense. But he is not a limited arm in college football. People will say he doesn't have "an NFL arm", which is debatable and not necessary to win in college.

He played very well at Penn State, as a backup, better than several of our starters. I've seen him make several big time throws. He played well in the Wisconsin game, and the Purdue game. And he had that TD in the Peach Bowl to keep us in it. Hope he continues to do well.

Watching throws from this year to when I saw him in practice in 2024, he has a stronger arm now. So far he has been more accurate than I saw then as well. It is possible he had a bad day, but nothing in the games led me to believe he had the accuracy to deserve to play more than he did either.
