Drew Allar throws a TD and runs for another as No. 7 Penn State beats UCLA 27-11

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Drew Allar threw for 237 yards with a touchdown and ran for another score to lead No. 7 Penn State to a 27-11 victory over UCLA on Saturday.

Tyler Warren caught a touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half and Kaytron Allen ran a one-in from 1 yard in the third quarter. Allar scored first in the second quarter with a 1-yard run of his own. Ryan Barker hit two field goals and Penn State's (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) defense put together another dominant performance in the second half to cap off their fourth home win.

UCLA (1-4, 0-3) made it 7-3 on Mateen Bhaghani's 25-yard field goal. The Bruins scored a touchdown in the final minute of the game on a 1-yard pass from Justyn Martin to Logan Loya and converted the 2-point attempt.

Allar completed 17 of 24 passes while Martin completed 22 of 30 passes.

The takeaway food

UCLA: The Bruins played hard on defense but are getting no help on the other side of the ball. The UCLA offense entered its first Big Ten road game ranked 127th nationally in total offense. They averaged just 262 yards per game and couldn't get anything going again without starting quarterback Ethan Garbers, who was sidelined with a leg injury.

Penn State: Star running back Nick Singleton suited up but did not play because of an undisclosed illness. With the equally dangerous Allen still in the lineup, it didn't matter. The beefy back made plenty of moves all day, Allar was accurate and timely, and the defense forced four punts, two turnovers on downs and held its third straight opponent to under 100 rushing yards.
