Penn State quarterback Drew Allar started the team's matchup against Ohio State on Saturday despite dealing with an injury.

Allar didn't play the second half of last week's win over Wisconsin after he sustained an apparent lower-body injury. Beau Pribula took over for the remainder of the game, completing 11-of-13 pass attempts for 98 yards and a score. He also had 28 yards on six carries.

Allar has 1,640 passing yards with 12 touchdowns against four picks this season. The 20-year-old has added 129 yards and three scores on the ground.

Ohio State's defense ranks fourth in the country in points allowed per game (11.86) and second in total yardage surrendered per contest (254.4).
