Week 10 of the college football season has a significant game between the fourth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and the third-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. This game is going to mean a lot in terms of the AP Poll and the College Football Playoff.

Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar struggled against the Ohio State Buckeyes last season, as it was statistically one of his worst games. He went 18-of-42 for 191 yards with a touchdown pass in a losing effort.

While sitting down with former USC quarterback Matt Leinart for FOX's Big Noon Kickoff, Drew Allar was asked how he approaches big rival games and if his approach changes from other games on the schedule.

"I definitely approach it the same because, you know, we talk about it as an offense. Our process is our process no matter we win by 50 or lose by 50. For me, I wouldn't change anything that has gotten me to this point."

Below is the full sit-down interview that was shown on FOX's Big Noon Kickoff.

It will be interesting to see how Drew Allar looks in the Week 10 game against the Ohio State Buckeyes and if he can overcome the struggles from last season.

Where will Drew Allar get selected in the 2025 NFL draft?

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar will be eligible for the 2025 NFL draft. Entering Week 10, he has done well as he has completed 117 of 164, or 71.3% of passes for a total of 1,640 yards. He has 12 passing touchdowns and only four interceptions.

Playing in a solid program like Penn State means Drew Allar has been able to compete against some of the premier defenses in the country. However, he does have some inconsistencies with his mechanics to the point where he can get out of sync and struggle during games.

He is likely going to be a fringe day 2 draft selection as he can thrive in a system with a veteran quarterback, as he gets to learn how to improve his game and compete for the backup quarterback spot on the roster as a rookie.
