Same thing happened with KLS after transferring to Auburn last year.
Yep. I watched the Ole Miss @ Kentucky game. Wallace played well and their offense was spreading the ball around against a credible Kentucky defense. The Ole Miss sophomore QB threw two early interceptions (both his error) but they kept throwing. I think PSU offense is not willing to take risks in the passing game and it seems Allar has been affected. He does poorly at throwing receivers open, probably too concerned about throwing an interception and when crunch time comes, he seems to be in panic mode and makes bad decisions.
It seems to me that Allar plays best when we play fast and he doesn't have time to think about it (like a 2 minute drill).
He was like 2 steps behind the DB and had to slow up due to a late throw that was too short.
This got me thinking. AK's offense at Kansas was from 2021 to 2023.
Very good observation.
Yep. When he's given more than enough time in the pocket, bad things can happen.
Hopefully PSU can surpass last years #s . It will take a deliberate effort on the part of the coaching staff in game planning and allowing Allar to expand his risk factor.
He just needs to remember he is playing a game, just go out there and have fun. He is playing like he has the world on his shoulders.
Good analysis
Well, it is a fine line. Allar seeks perfection and when he is imperfect, he lets it affect him (apparently). That leads to being streaky. It is exacerbated by good teams giving him smaller windows. So it is like golf; hurry between shots but take your time during the shot. In other words, he needs to let if fly during the game and angst about it on Sunday. Brady was probably the best ever at being a complete perfectionist (for himself and the team) from Monday through Saturday. But on Sundays, he was the consummate team manager/player. It is hard to take a teammate to task for a bad play when you are making bad plays too. But he's the QB. He's going to make bad plays. But he also has to take players to task to ensure they are playing all out and not making stupid mistakes. That is different than being beat by a better player.
On paper it was one of our weakest opponents and it was raining that morning. The combination was going to result in weaker attendance. I went week 1 with a weaker opponent. But there is more demand for the opening game even if it isn't a good opponent.
Paid attendance was just under 104,000 but there had to be 20,000 empty seats. I understand it's a weak opponent but the team is ranked #2 in the country. I thought it looked horrible on TV.
I'm just pointing out that the confluence of poor opponent and bad weather are the reason for it.
