Benched for the UNLV transfer.
Wow! Moss is 2nd in the BiG in total yards and middle of the pack in completion yards and QBR.
They're 11th in rushing yards and 12th in yds allowed. It seems to me that the running game and defense are bigger issues than the passing game. Moss has 9 INTs but a lot of that is because USC has been forced to pass so often.
Lincoln Riley is feeling the pressure
I'd expect 95% of college football to kick the tires on a Miller Moss portal entry.
Allar goes pro and Pribula/Grunk are left - would you let Miller Moss enter the conversation here?

ND and Oregon will be due for another free agent qb for next season.
Until we address and upgrade the WR room, it's a somewhat moot point.
Having a legitimate WR1 that opposing defenses would have to schematically respect and prepare for would go a long way towards helping the productivity of our entire offensive unit.
PSU, if they have more NIL money, is going to have a decision to make if Allar leaves, and I don't believe that's a certainty. The choice is going to be either to go with Pribula and/or Grunkemeyer and accept that 2025 will be a bit of a rebuilding season, or bring in an experienced qb like OSU, Oregon, ND and Washington did this season. I like the fact that PSU has developed its own recruited qbs under Franklin, but that usually comes with some growing pains, which may not be acceptable in the playoff era.
By the way, you know one school that definitely will bring in a free agent qb is Michigan.
I think it will be interesting if Allar decides to stay another year. The staff is sky high on Grunk and Beau may be on the outside looking in. I am just speculating, of course, but Allar staying another year could upset the apple cart.
The first article mentions Michigan as a potential landing spot, but I think that's more of speculation than any reality (Michigan QB woes + good QB getting benched = let's get some clicks).
Also rumors they are trying to flip Underwood from LSU. Wonder where Portnoy wants his $3m going?
Based on his performance this season, I can't see Allar being drafted any higher than the third round, unless a team wants to risk everything based on his physical attributes alone. In fact, based on what happened with Hackenberg, I easily could see that working against him in the draft. If this were twenty years ago, I definitely believe that he would return for his third season because he could improve his draft status at best, and not hurt it much at worst, but it doesn't seem like many PSU players choose that option.
most have him as the fifth best prospect and a second rounder.
In a projection that I saw on a draft site a few weeks ago, he was listed as the #10 qb for the 2025 draft.
Eh, I was just throwing out a hypothetical.
If Drew goes pro, I'd let Pribula get the keys in AK's offense. I think they'd have success. Spend the money on a WR1 or WR2 type instead of a QB.
In my mind though, speaking of NIL this offseason - I'd drop a bag on keeping Allar, Singleton, and Winston for one more year. Argue they could still earn money and help their draft stock even more. That's a hell of a core returning next season which could potentially keep us preseason top 10.

If Allar goes, there's a decent shot Pribula doesn't even win the job over Grunk
What performance is that? He's got some throws on film this year that only half of the current NFL starters can make. Unlike Hack, Allar has improved his pocket presence and escapability. His completion % is up. He doesn't have a bunch of duds into the turf like Hack had either.
If anything, scouts will love that our #1 target is a TE because that shows he can play with anybody. No stud WR, our stud RB has been gimpy for a month, our OL is young, replaced multiple NFL guys.
Things we as PSU fans hate, scouts love. Why do you think so many Bama and OSU QBs wash out? They play on literal college all star teams vs significantly weaker competition week in, week out. Once they get in the parity league drafted by turd organizations, they get thrown to the wolves early and they are discarded much too fast without proper time to adapt to the game at its highest level.
Truthfully, I hope Allar goes to one of the decent teams that isn't looking for their 5th QB savior in 7 seasons type of situations. Predicting NFL QB success is tough, but I don't foresee Allar having any trouble getting drafted.
