"Every year, Penn State gets hyped with 'this is their year.' Everyone needs to stop that crap. Let them play the games let them prove it on the field," a fan wrote.

"In the Nittany Lions 6 games v ranked opponents in 2024, Allar was horrible: surpassed 200 yds passing in only 1 of those games (Oregon); team went 3-3; Allar passed for just 6 TDs in 6 games, with all 6 of those TDs in 2 games. Tossed terrible INT to lose ND game. He's overrated," a fan added.

As many fans pointed out, Allar struggled against the elite teams last season, so they don't think he deserves the hype.

"If PSU fails to win a big game this year, the 'overrated' comments will actually be justified," a fan wrote.
"We shall see. This is PSU best chance to beat Ohio State," a fan added.

Allar opted to return to Penn State to build up his draft stock to try help Penn State win the title.

"There’s no chance he wins the Heisman. They will be a run-heavy team," a fan wrote.
"Not as long as Franklin is coach," a fan added.

Allar went 262-for-394 for 3,327 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season.

Franklin says Allar has unfinished business and is excited to see him ball out this season.

“Drew has made tremendous growth every single year, all the way back to recruiting," Franklin said on July 23. "He’s made significant leaps every year. We expect him to take another significant leap this year. Most people had him projected as a first-round draft choice last year and he decided to come back to school.

"Unfinished business, collectively, as a team, but also as an individual. So, I’m a big Drew fan."
