If Drew Allar wants to point any fingers of blame on anyone before throwing a game-changing pick in the loss to Notre Dame, he can do that with Greg McElroy.

MORE FROM THE ORANGE BOWL: This brutal James Franklin stat is damning

With 47 seconds left and Penn State tied with the Fighting Irish at 24, the ESPN analyst had this to say: “For the most part, all season long, his whole career, Drew Allar’s made good decisions. He’s got 50-plus touchdowns, only 9 career interceptions. It’s not likely a guy that’s gonna put the ball in harm’s way. I trust him.”

Oops. Guess what happened not long after. He threw an interception, and Notre Dame won.
