Drew Allar's total passing yards versus Boise State prop bet came in with an Over/Under of 225.5.
Allar finished his last game played against SMU 13-for-22 with 127 passing yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.
“Weather conditions [weren’t] great, … [but] there's no excuses to really not execute in any capacity,” Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki said. “But I will tell you one thing that's not going to show up in the stats is how many times [Allar] is our leader in the straw that stirs the drink, how many times he puts us in the right play. We had a lot of run checks in the game plan for him to put us in the right play and get us in situations that will allow our guys to execute. That's a big part of being a quarterback as well.”
What's at Stake?
The prize awaiting both program’s Tuesday night: a trip to the CFP semifinals with a win in the Fiesta Bowl.
“Boise State has been built on the backs of years and years of success way before I got here,” said Spencer Danielson, in his first full season as Boise State’s coach. “So even this season is not because of me. It’s because the group of young men wanted to leave a legacy, be different.”
Behind a stout defense and one of the nation’s best tight ends in Tyler Warren, the Nittany Lions (12-2, CFP No. 6 seed) regained their status as one of college football’s elites with a trip to the CFP. Penn State also shoved aside the notion it couldn’t win big games by blowing out SMU in the opening round of the playoffs at home last weekend.
“We don’t take these moments for granted, but I don’t care what anybody says from the outside,” Penn State quarterback Drew Allar said. “There’s a lot of people out there that don’t know what goes on behind the scenes. That’s part of playing at a place like Penn State, but it’s part of sticking to our guns and sticking to our process.”
