The Nittany Lions are 32-point favorites at home against the struggling Hoosiers.
Penn State football gets a chance to press reset on the 2023 season when Indiana visits Beaver Stadium on Saturday. The Hoosiers are the lowest-ranked Big Ten team inThe Lions couldn't pick a better get-right opponent than Indiana, which has allowed an average of 42.3 points in its last three Big Ten games,in early October and has flipped starting quarterbacks. For Penn State, this should be a game to test-drive some new ideas, starting with the pass game..
According to Sports Info Solutions, Allar threw for just 55 air yards among his 162 yards passing against the Minutemen. The Lions tried to throw downfield, as evidenced by the 170 intended air yards recorded but didn't connect. Allar was 2-for-7 on attempts of 10 air yards or longer — against UMass. That extended to the Ohio State game, in which he was 5-for-16. And he shouldn't shoulder all the blame for that.
This is all to say, the Lions need to let it rip against Indiana. The weather should be favorable, Indiana ranks 13th in the Big Ten in passer rating allowed and the Hoosiers face some significant injury issues. Noah Pierre, a team captain and one of its top defenders, was hurt against Rutgers last week and won't play.
Allar and the passing game need a confidence boost. Moreover, they need to know the coaches are confident in them. Let him let it fly Saturday.Franklin cited Cephas as a starter for the Ohio State game, but the receiver played just three of his 12 snaps before the final series. This season is beginning to slip away for the heralded Kent State transfer, who has five games remaining to make an impact.
