Penn State Stars Drew Allar, Nick Singleton Are Thinking Too Much, Franklin Says
Penn State's offense converted only 25% of third downs (3-12) during early season, impacting drive completion despite strong rushing averages and defensive performance, coach said.
- Penn State football coach James Franklin said on Sunday that Drew Allar and Nick Singleton are putting too much pressure on themselves to be flawless, which is affecting their natural style of play following the 34-0 win over FIU at Beaver Stadium.
- Penn State began the game by consistently advancing the ball deep into FIU territory on nine consecutive possessions but managed to put up just 20 points, failing to convert several third downs and turning the ball over on downs twice.
- Franklin stressed the need for a focus on each individual play, noting that Allar had missed some easy throws he typically completes almost all of the time.
- Allar admitted he was overthinking and pressing, which caused frustration and led to missed open receivers; meanwhile, Singleton gained 76 yards with a 5.8-yard average but has yet to break a long run.
- Franklin plans to coach both players intensively through the week as Penn State prepares for its final non-conference game against Villanova next Saturday, aiming to speed up progress and clean up issues.
