"Completely and 100% on Drew Allar": Fans call out Penn State QB after multiple interceptions fade year-long success 

Drew Allar was found wanting on Thursday night as the Penn State Nittany Lions took on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Orange Bowl. The quarterback couldn't replicate his strong performance all season in the College Football Playoff semifinal, leading to a 27-24 loss at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Allar had a tough outing in the contest as Penn State's passing game faltered against Notre Dame. The Nittany Lions had to lean heavily on their rushing attack to stay in the encounter. Running back Nicholas Singleton rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries.

For most of the game, Drew Allar struggled to find a rhythm through the air. He completed just 12 of 23 passes for 140 yards, including a crucial interception that sealed the game. Adding to his woes, the quarterback had two other interceptions negated by Notre Dame penalties.

The performance of the Penn State quarterback was largely criticized by fans following the game. It has likely damaged the reputation he's built on the field all season long.

Here's a closer look at some reactions from fans on X/Twitter:

"Drew Allar needs to finish up that degree," a fan wrote.

"Anybody who wants Drew Allar on the Titans should delete their account," another fan wrote.

"Greg McElroy praising Drew Allar for being smart and not throwing picks, just for him to throw a pick 2 plays later has got to be an all-timer," one fan said.

What's next for Drew Allar after Orange Bowl?

Drew Allar entered the Orange Bowl with a lot of buzz around the NFL draft. The quarterback announced in December that he will return to Penn State for another season in 2025. However, he is said to be on the radar of a host of teams, leading to potential reconsideration.

According to reports, Allar is now considered among the top quarterback picks in the 2025 NFL draft, and he is high on the list of many teams. It’s unknown whether that will remain so following his poor outing against Notre Dame on Thursday.

Drew Allar's decision to return for another season was far from impulsive. The quarterback sought advice and carefully deliberated with those in his circle before committing to another year. Despite growing buzz, no significant changes are anticipated in his immediate future.

"For me personally, it was a football decision, and that's how I have always been operating," Allar said last month via SI.com. "Me and my family had extensive talks about it and weighed everything, and personally I came to the conclusion myself that I feel like it's best for my future.”

His choice to return has had ripple effects within the program, influencing Beau Pribula's decision to transfer. Next season will mark Allar's fourth with the Nittany Lions and potentially his third as the starting quarterback.
