We're live moments after the conclusion of the game so subscribe to the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel so you don't miss any of the action!Penn State defense suffocates AltmyerIllinois quarterback Luke Altmyer got beat up by the Penn Staet defense, both on the field and in the stat sheet. The defense got two official QB hits per the game book, but the Illinois passer took multiple shots during the game. The constant pressure and sticky Penn State defensive backs also forced the quarterback into four interceptions on the afternoon before he was pulled.After two quiet weeks, the defense was back to their old tricks in the run game as well. The team had five tackles for loss heading into the fourth quarter.The offense, thanks to another short field from a defensive interception from Cam Miller, broke the game open to start the fourth quarter. Nick Singleton finally got to the second level of the defense for an 18-yard touchdown run to put Penn State up by 23 points.Overall, the offense struggled, with Drew Allar completing less than 60% of his passes on Saturday. The sharp quarterback hadn't completed less than 78% of his throws in the first two games. Allar looked uncomfortable in the pocket for most of the game, thanks to the consistent pressure from the Illinois defense and wrecking ball Jer'Zahn Newton. Newton had a tackle for loss, two quarterback hits and a pass breakup to almost single-handedly keep Illinois in the game.We'll discuss these players, plays and more on the BWI Live postgame show.
