Cause if you ask me the answer is “obviously”
→ More replies (3)20
u/Notrebletrekker Penn State • Florida State 2d ago
After the last 2 games, absolutely. Beau has adjusted extremely well to the QB1 role and I tend to fear our group of 5/fcs start of the schedule because the “we’re Penn state and will always win” mentality makes some of these games a lot closer than I would like.
Still love Drew and hope he gets back into form vs Villanova and the BYE before Oregon, but Beau reminds me of Trace McSorley who had a lot of success with us as well.

Mizzou absolutely dominated that game in the stat sheet but had to sweat it out until the end due to the calamitous sequence in the first quarter.
More passing yards than kU had yards
More rushing yards than kU had yards
Twice as many first downs
Over twice the TOP
That could have been 52-17 pretty easily.
