Penn State football team’s report card vs. Oregon

Grading the Penn State football team on its 30-24 loss to Oregon in double overtime Saturday night at Beaver Stadium:

Quarterback

D: Drew Allar faced a strong pass rush and guided the fourth-quarter comeback, but he threw another late interception that cost the Lions a chance to win the game.

Running backs

C: Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton made a few plays, but they were limited because of how poorly the offensive line blocked.

Receivers

C: Devonte Ross delivered in the fourth quarter and Trebor Pena had a splash or two, but Kyron Hudson was shut out and the tight ends combined for three catches.

Offensive linemen

D: They allowed Oregon’s defensive line to control most of the game, opened just a few holes in the running game and allowed Allar to be pressured often.

Defensive linemen

B-: They were beaten on several misdirection runs and couldn’t sack the elusive and slippery Dante Moore.

Linebackers

B+: Amare Campbell was very active with 15 tackles from sideline to sideline. Tony Rojas and Dominic DeLuca also played well.

Defensive backs

B: Moore’s scrambling bought time and made it hard on the secondary, which had one major breakdown in the second overtime.

Special teams

A-: Ryan Barker matched his career best with a 49-yard field goal and the Ducks had few return yards. Gabe Nwosu’s punt into the end zone in the third quarter was a net 11 yards.

Coaches

D: Another loss to a top 10 opponent stemmed from a poor offensive performance for three quarters.
