Penn State QB Drew Allar on Tyler Warren, More After Bowling Green Win 9/7/24 | NSN

um Drew uh obviously the Bowling Green defense came out uh coach Franklin told us they'd be physical what didn't you expect from them what did you expect from them today uh I mean I think we got everything that we expected like there we knew coming in on both sides of the ball that bowling Green's 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 def I know number one like going into the game I had a lot of respect for him I was just watching him throughout the week on film um and 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 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 a t game like this how valuable is it to have a guy like over there he just so consistent 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 complet 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 open field when you uh it's definitely like like oh we're going to get we're going to get a bigger game than I expected um because obviously like most tight ends like it's just not their part of their 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 just for other teams that are upcoming on our schedule so they're going to have to respect them not only as run blockers and pass cedes but Playmakers with the ball in their hand 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 DB I thought it was going to be cover zero looked at cover zero I was like all right my I'm going to give give Trey a shot and uh the corner 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 I won the 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 as a quarterback room 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 game Drew how would you describe the vibe in the locker room after a win like this where you went one and0 but it wasn't maybe as emphatic as West Virginia was 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 and bowl 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 our in the penalties during the plays will will be in a lot better spot and we'll be in a lot better positions to like you know sustain drives more often um and make third Downs a little bit more manageable for us you mentioned the penalties uh that uh Pi call on orari what did you see from that vantage point cuz that worked like kind of a bang bang Bo 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 Amari was just hand fighting him at the end of the day which he has to do he can't he can't just let DBS grab him and stuff like that it's a part of his game where he's really grown and just being more physical in general um and honestly like obviously we don't want the pi to be called but you know I think he did a really good job today of just you know making contested catches obviously a touchdown beat his guy deep um that would have been another one um 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 it and move on to the next player in next series what
