STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Drew Allar and Andy Kotelnicki have developed quite the quarterback-coach tandem in their 18 months together. Their partnership has grown to the point where Kotelnicki, Penn State’s second-year offensive coordinator, let Allar plan out most of what the No. 2 Nittany Lions would drill during their final training camp practices last week.

They’ve seen enough to know Allar’s improved command of the offense will give the Nittany Lions a shot at another deep run the College Football Playoff.
