Running Backs

Grade: B+

The Penn State offense wasn’t super effective but they were able to extend drives with the critical runs by [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] and [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag]. For Allen especially, he was very impressive with two big runs on third down to extend a scoring drive and to convert a fourth and goal carry. If they go to Drew Allar the rest of the season, the running game has shown it can be a reliable safety valve for him and the offense.
