Penn State came into the Blue-White Game with a quarterback competition according to coach [autotag]James Franklin[/autotag]. While former five-star recruit [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] was expected to be the heir apparent after Sean Clifford graduated, Franklin wasn’t ready to give him the keys to the program without a competition.
While many thought the quarterback competition was just lip service, it was clear that evaluations would be made during the spring game that could impact who would be the 2023-24 starter.
After the performances during the game on Saturday, it looks like their is a clear front runner for who will be the starting quarterback for the Nittany Lions.
Allar finished the scrimmage going 19-30 for 202 yards and one touchdown. [autotag]Beau Pribula[/autotag] went 10-27 for 92 yards, zero touchdown and one interception. Pribula got snaps for both the Blue and White side, while Allar stayed on the Blue team the entire time.
While it’s always difficult to make judgements after a scrimmage, it was clear who the better quarterback was in the game.
With that said, here are is the report card for the two quarterbacks involved in the battle.
