If Allar is a 5-year player, previous projections and evaluations would be very wrong.
If you look at the "Unread Posts" in the upper right corner of this page, which I know is different for everybody, mine shows a hint (I actually read this somewhere else) that Clifford was injured in the game against CMU and Allar will be starting against NW. Take it for what it's worth. Just a rumor at this point.

Allar doesn't matter. He's got only 2 more years at PSU.
So I hear. Might be the best for the fanboys to see him as a mortal.
That's the rumor I heard. He looked fine on the sidelines. If Allar starts I'm guessing that Cliff is "a little" banged up. Could be a win-win scenario. In other words, Cliff is available if the sky falls.....but if Allar can get a game under his belt while the training wheels are still there and Sean has 2 weeks to be 100% for Michigan...
If the rumor is true and Allar is spectacular in his first start, will there be a qb controversy heading into Michigan? We know what we have in Clifford, who can easily win or lose a game on his own.That's the rumor I heard. He looked fine on the sidelines. If Allar starts I'm guessing that Cliff is "a little" banged up. Could be a win-win scenario.

All speculation and nothing more on my part
This may come as a shock to some...
Especially when you recruit so many 4 and 5 star athletes. Most come with pretty rare talent and demanding expectations.
According to the RUMORS you are spot on, actually.That's the rumor I heard. He looked fine on the sidelines. If Allar starts I'm guessing that Cliff is "a little" banged up. Could be a win-win scenario.

All speculation and nothing more on my part
And here comes another RUMOR...perhaps it will show, that Allar is making his first start...it is a MAJOR break that it comes this week rather than in Ann Arbor...I usually am.....just sometimes folks don't like the message.....LOL
Well, I'm sure the script for the season(QB speaking) was agreed upon by all. These things aren't made up as you go along. Clifford had to be "welcomed" back.
I remember people saying the exact same thing when PSU burned Anthony Morelli’s redshirt by letting him throw a Hail Mary as a true frosh.
Clark should have been the starter in 2007.
Remember Morelli shitting the bed at Ann Arbor and then emabarrassingly jawing at hecklers behind the bench looking to fight. Strong arm...but the football IQ didn't match.
Yeppers, very few of these guys will stay four years, let alone five. Barring injury they will heading to NFL ASAP. Redshirting will be mostly for linemen or marginal players that take time to mature and develop.
It’s crazy to think that Morelli, Christian Hackenburg, and Rashard Casey never played in the NFL but Kevin Thompson, Matt McGloin, and Trace McSorley did. Never would have thought that based on freshman hype.
I think that if Allar starts this weekend and plays well, Clifford isn't starting against Michigan. Of course it is a road game and will be a big one, so maybe JF goes with the old guy. Clifford has been really good, and I stress really good, except for periods where he gets way off for whatever reason. The second quarter on Saturday is a good example and was difficult to watch as he had open receiver after open receiver and was crazy erratic without much pressure. On most plays they did not even get a hand on the throws. It is not just that they we were suddenly able to run the ball and this made protection better and thus increased accuracy. It's not an occasional bad throw, it is a sudden change and then a sudden change back to being hot. If Clifford is on we score most drives. If he's off we go three and out until he gets hot again. We need to do whatever we can to keep him hot throughout the game. I don't have the answer.
I was just thinking about this type of hype and was hoping that Mr. Allar doesn't get pushed into the fire too soon. Hack had his early moments and was not helped by his coaches...but he also couldn't throw a screen pass. Morelli just didn't thrive versus more talented teams. Rashard had a bunch of off the field stuff and a few highlight reel plays but in the end wasn't the difference maker we hoped he would be.
And you've hit on the part that many refuse to look at......College Football and the NFL are two entirely different games. I love the knuckleheads that love to throw shade at some very successful CF teams that don't flood the NFL with starting QBs,
