Allar is expected to be a game-time decision when Penn State (4-0 Big Ten) hosts No. 4 Ohio State (6-1, 3-1) at noon Saturday on Fox.

“It’s too early to tell at this point, but he’s played enough football that I think the decision will go all the way up to game time,” PSU coach James Franklin said. “The reality is we’re gonna have to have both guys ready and you could make the argument, all three guys ready, which is challenging to do in a game week.”

Nebraska’s Rollercoaster Game Against Ohio State

Ohio State defeated the Nebraska Huskers 21-17 Saturday in Columbus.

Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola appeared to have injured his shoulder during the fourth quarter. After an incomplete pass Raiola entered the medical tent on the sideline. It appeared he was in a significant amount of discomfort in his right shoulder, specifically his joint area below his collarbone, according to reports. The quarterback later made his return to the game.

Raiola has gained a lot of publicity this year, partly due to his striking resemblance to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The comparison was first brought to the internet after a picture of Raiola reporting to training camp was released. In the photo the freshman was repping a goatee, similar hairstyle, and similar glasses to Mahomes. The three-time Super Bowl champion is aware of the Nebraska player and even shared a photo with the caption “Lil cuzzo!!”
