Drew Allar, Penn State retake late lead over Indiana with incredible 57-yard TD pass
Drew Allar was looking for a big drive after giving up his first career interception against Indiana on Saturday.
The sophomore quarterback had the drive he was hoping for.
After Indiana evened things up with a field goal, Allar and the Nittany Lions began marching down the field. They needed just 3 plays to get into the endzone, ending the drive with a 57-yard bomb from Allar to KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who tip-toed down the sideline and made it in.

The touchdown gave Penn State a 31-24 lead and gave Indiana less than 2 minutes to respond.
But Penn State might have put the nail in the coffin on the next drive, as the Nittany Lions forced a fumble that went out of the back of the endzone for a safety. The play gave Penn State a 9-point lead and the ball back with a minute and a half to go.
