Beau Pribula helps No. 3 Penn State overcome loss of Allar in 28-13 victory over Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Penn State’s Beau Pribula said he got a simple message from Drew Allar before taking over for the injured quarterback in the second half Saturday night.

“Hold it down,” Pribula recalled hearing.That’s exactly what he did.

Pribula led touchdown drives on back-to-back series, and Jaylen Reed put No. 3 Penn State ahead for good on a 19-yard interception return as the Nittany Lions overcame Allar’s injury to beat Wisconsin 28-13.

The second-half comeback assured that Penn State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) would carry an unbeaten record into next weekend’s home showdown with No. 4 Ohio State.

Allar went into the locker room before his teammates in the final minute of the first half after he landed a little awkwardly while getting sacked on Penn State’s last series of the second quarter. Allar came back onto the field for the second half wearing a brace around his left knee, but he remained on the sideline for the rest of the night.
