Oh great. Nice way to start game day...reading the assessment of an alleged "quarterback guru" that the Oregon QB is the best in college football through the first month of the season while Drew...sucks.

OK, obviously he didn't use the word "sucks" but I think that's a real-world translation of his comments:

QB expert criticizes Penn State’s Drew Allar, praises Oregon star
QB guru Quincy Avery criticized Penn State's Drew Allar and called Oregon's Dante Moore "the best quarterback in college football."
Drew has to play like a big boy in a game that matters to shut people up. I haven't really seen defenses stop him. I've seen him stop himself. He's usually protected, but inexplicably comes out missing the mark. He has a great opportunity tonight. NFL scouts are just waiting to give him boatloads of money if he'll play the way he can. We'll see how accurate Moore is with DDS and company in his face every time he sets up to throw.Oh great.

Yep. If you watch Drew without the glasses, he isn't accurate and hasn't played an NFL game.
My fear today is we stick with Singleton, he runs into the backs of his blockers like the last three weeks, missing the holes, and we rely on Drew who misses everything.
Like ND game all over again.
My hope today is we run Allen, open up some gigantic space in passing game and Drew improves.

I expect Singleton to start and both backs to get equal carries unless one of them starts to excel.

That's too bad. But Probably what will happen.

Penn State Vs. Oregon: Tale of the Tape
A look at the most intriguing matchups when the Nittany Lions face the Ducks in prime time.
Everyone keeps comparing offenses, they forget that Defense is also part of the game. Oregon has given up rushing yards and has two Young inexperienced corners.Ducks still giving up loads of rushing yards. Pound it at them!!

How much you wanna bet we draw Kole Knueppel and his crew tonight officiating the game. Kole is the league's illustrious successor to John O'Neill and screwed us over big time in the CCG last year. The B-10 always seems to have a guy who knows the political score and can be counted on to do the "right" thing in the big games.
Our defensive line versus their defensive line is a significant plus for Penn State. I think the secondary is also a plus for Penn State and most of the other spots are a wash. I know that those groups don’t specifically play against each other on the field, but to me, I think our defense will hold them and check Throughout most of the game and at least give us opportunities.
I'm not sure what advantages PSU has because Oregon is loaded with 5* and high 4* talent everywhere including Oregon's QB & WRs. If PSU has an advantage it's that our players are more experienced and we have the home field.
My predictions:
1) PSU won't be able to simply pound the ball with Singleton & Allen on the ground. Allar is going to have to pass for 200+ yds against Oregon's 5* freshmen DBs and he's also have to have to run for 40 yds.
2) We will need to score 30 points and win the TO battle to win this game.
