So if Clifford leaves next year, does Drew Allar get to campus early and win the starting QB job as a true freshman?
Drew Allar
- Thread starter NittanyChris
- Start date
this should be a lesson to stop loving the backup QB.
(Yes I hope so though)

Both he and Pribuela are EEs
I say get both Allar and Pribula in early and fight it out. Also wouldn't hurt to get the RB Singleton in early as well, the RB's this year just look off.
I know how bad he played today, but I never write a kid off that quick. Tough spot today.
Yes. Roberson did not show much today but I'd give the kid a chance. If he's mentally tough, he can use this experience as a real positive. We'll need that if Clifford is out for any length of time.
Agreed. If I wrote some of my young players off when they played poorly, I would have never seen a lot of good players. He may not be the answer moving forward, but it takes playing time to figure that out.
Brenton Strange did him no favors.
I think people overlook the fact that everyone’s confidence went down when Clifford got hurt. The kids know what Roberson is from practice. Franklin will just blow smoke up our asses so we don’t know. I felt like the rest of the team went, “we’re screwed” with Roberson in there. Hell the guy is about as tall as Doug Flutie.
If a true freshman starts and his name isn’t Trevor Lawrence the team is in trouble.
Allar sounds pretty damn good. If Roberson’s best stuff is on the field at Kinnick, give me a freshman all day.
Would you rather be 6-6 with a true freshman QB or 8-4 with an upperclassmen? I’d rather take a rebuilding year.
Drew Allar has a NFL body, he is the 12 ranked kid in the nation, the top rated QB and just received his 5th star. I am hoping Drew Allar makes a name for himself but there is no reason he isn’t every bit as good as Trevor Lawrence, his accomplishments so far definitely put him in that conversation.
I highly doubt Clifford is back.
If it were me, I would at least have Allar playing in a 2 QB system until he takes control. Also would be playing other early enrollees such as Saunders, Singleton, Allan. We may struggle early but come October look out. Would set up for an exciting 2022 and a run in 2023.
You just described Anthony Morelli. He wasn't the 12th player ranked in a class, but he was the #1 qb ranked is some databases. Difference here is Yurcich, not Jay Paterno or Galen Hall as his coach.
Was trying to remember what the rest of the QB room looked like while he was here. Amazing how little they got out of him, Paul Jones, Kevin Newsome.
Lol. Wallace “Ray of Sunshine” Breen has arrived!
Why did they close all the roads from NE Ohio to State College?
Nobody keeps two starting quality QBs in their same class year anymore- the portal makes it easy to go elsewhere to start
Conventional thought is Clifford will not return. However, I kind of think that playing with his younger brother, Liam, could actually be a huge draw. Especially if it doesn’t look like his draft position is going to be all that high.
I could care less about recruits. Until they sign on the dotted line and are committed, I assume they will play elsewhere. It is called perspective.
Only an elite qb coach could take…
Bolden 4*
Newsome 4*
Jones 5*
And get 0 out of them while having them ALL get beat out by a Walk-On
Say what you want about Jay but those 3 kids combined didn't equal 5 stars. Very untalented group.
To be fair, they didn't really do much at their next stops. I dont think Newsome even used up all his eligibility at Temple. Jones ended up at Robert Morris. Bolden never saw the field at LSU and then was a backup at EMU as a 5th year senior
Let them all have at it. You never know. With Covid and another new coordinator, my guess is that they had to work with Clifford running more reps in new offense with few going to Roberson. He never played before and most problems were with communication. 86 and 70 did not do him right. Throws a nice ball, keeps eyes downfield and runs well when needed. This was the result of starting with tough games. #1 needs real reps to work on stuff, so #2 sits.
It's possible. Why not? Let the best (young) man compete, and win the job. NO seniority crap.
SC might return, but if he is coming back and by now not an NFL prospect, he will NOT be the starter for the full year. He will be on the rope to be replaced whenever the next guy takes over. We have seen TR a few times, and nothing in his skill set looks like the next starter, and he just beat out CV for the #2. That means next year at this time our starter is one of the two big time FR - either Pribulla or Allar. Maybe both of them get some time before picking one. I do not see a 6th year QB who essentially has no NFL future holding down a whole year and then leaving 2023 as the find your QB year. Actually, if SC announces he is returning for a 6th year and this is publicly endorsed by JF, I think we could lose 1 or both QB recruits.
