Penn State postgame: QB Drew Allar praises 'talented' Bowling Green for giving Nittany Lions issues

needs a really talented team like it doesn't matter what level they're they're put at in conference but they're they're a really good team they're really talented they got a couple good DBS I know number one like going into the game I had a lot of respect for him I just watching him throughout the week on film um you know they had a good group of linebackers and their D line was pretty good too they did a lot of good things uh a lot of different run twist up front to try to confuse our o line I thought our o line did a good job of picking most of those up for the most part but uh overall I mean I think it was is what we expected um we knew they were going to come out and play hard play physical play fast and uh we expected nothing less but they're they're a really talented group when you're in a tyght game like this how valuable is it to have a guy like Tyler War over there he's just so consistent in what he does yeah I mean it's very valuable like you said he's very consistent probably one of the most consistent guys on our team on both sides of the ball um and obviously he's he's a really big Target so that's nice and he gets he just finds ways to get open like he's a really good job of feeling Zone versus man and and those sorts of things and he's super uh crafty and Savvy in that aspect of his game and obviously he's a really good run blocker so very complete tight end and it's it's really nice to have that you know as an option to go to when he catches the ball in an open Fielding he doesn't run like a tight like when you complete a f you see kind of manuvering open field what is what's that like you seeing out there uh it's definitely like like oh we're going to we're going to get a bigger game than I expected um because obviously most our that's just not a part of the game but I think we have a really talented tight end group and Tai has that ability but all of our tight ends have that ability um but it's cool for them to Showcase that uh just for other teams that are up coming on our schedule so that they're going to have to respect them um not only as run blockers and pass sches but Playmakers with the ball in I know it's fresh but how how do you assess your play in the game um I think overall I I did a pretty good job there's definitely going to be some things I want to have back obviously that interception um honestly it was a really good play by the I thought it was going to be cover zero looked at cover zero I was like all right I'm gonna give give Trey a shot and uh the corner that was to the field outside of Trey did a good really good job of just reacting to the throw in the air um so obviously I would like to have that back and see that recognize that quicker uh there's a couple passes the one to Julian um I missed him on a quick out uh but you know I thought I played pretty clean overall there's there's always going to be things to clean up but you know I think um um as a quarterback we did a really good job of preparing for this week and um you know Bowling Green threw a lot of stuff at us but I thought we were really well prepared and we did a lot of good things throughout the [Music] game uh I mean I think it's just a win at the end of the day there's a lot of it's hard it's hard to win in college football no matter who you're playing or who you're playing against where wherever you're playing it's hard to win in college football um obviously we want to play cleaner on both sides of the ball I know offensively there was a couple penalty like I felt offensively I don't think we stopped ourselves many times uh there was a lot of penalties where we put ourselves in hard situations and backed up situations that are hard to convert on B and green did a good job of you know making those looks tough on us but I think um at the end of the day if we clean up the pre- snap penalties like we'll we'll put her in the penalties during the plays will will be in a lot better spot and we'll be in a lot better positions to you know sustain drives more often um and make third Downs a little bit more manageable for us um honestly I didn't really see it uh because I was so far behind the play um I I guess I'd have to look at it I know like I I don't know what happened but I'm guessing Omar was just hand fighting at the end of the day which he has to do he he can't just let DBS grab and stuff like that it's a part of his game where he's really growing being more physical in general um and honestly like obviously you don't want the pi to be called but I think he did a really good job today of just you know making contestant catches obviously a touchdown beat his guy deep um that would have been another one uh but you know we we can only worry about what we can control we can't really control what the ref's call so when that happens we just have to flush and move on to the next player next series [Music] thank you for checking out this content for Post Gazette sports if you
