...what will that mean for Penn State's 2023 season...and beyond? We haven't had a transcendent offensive talent in decades (okay...Barkley but oh my oh my that offensive line in front of him...), but we've seen what elite QBs can do for teams in the recent past--Lawrence, Young, Caleb Williams...)
1. I'm going to say that Penn State won the Big Ten and made the playoffs. With UM and OSU being what they are this season, it's not even necessary that we went 12-0...just that we made it to the Big Ten title game and beat the West's rep.
2. For beyond 2023, I'd say PSU closes out 2024 recruiting class on fire (top 5 for once, instead of just top 10-15 like usual) and starts 2025 with a top ranked class and numerous top 50 national kids. We start to be mentioned in the same breath as the upper echelon programs again...not quite at the UGA level...but sniffing a tier right behind them.)
(For the record, I'm an Allar skeptic. I've only seen a few throws that have really impressed me and he seems a bit clumsy in the pocket. I'm seeing Sacca or Hackenberg right now...rather than Collins. But I would LOVE to be wrong...and it's June...so let's dream...)
