Drew Allar injury update
With Penn State down 22-21 with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Allar scrambled on a third-down play and was tackled short of the first down. It appeared he got hit in the lower body. He didn't get up initially and medical personnel came to check on him as the Beaver Stadium crowd went silent.
Allar eventually got up and was noticeably limping on his way to the sideline. He exited the contest and backup quarterbackEthan Grunkemeyertook over.
On the ensuing fourth-down play, Penn State was unable to get the first down, giving Northwestern the ball. The Wildcats then ran out the clock after two first downs.
