WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Tyler Warren more than made up for dropping a pass from Drew Allar two years ago at Ross-Ade Stadium. Warren accounted for 190 yards and two touchdowns from scrimmage as the fourth-ranked Nittany Lions steamed past hapless Purdue 49-10 Saturday before 58,346 fans. Strengthening his campaign for national awards, Warren caught eight passes for 127 yards and one score and carried three times for 63 yards, including a 48-yard TD. “Tyler Warren continues to make plays in a ton of different ways,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. When he was asked whether Warren should be considered for the Heisman Trophy, Franklin didn’t hold back. “Tyler Warren should be part of all the conversations that deal with the best player in college football,” Franklin said. “I don’t think it’s a question. That’s all those types of awards, including the Heisman.” The 6-6, 261-pound Warren averaged 17.3 yards every time he touched the ball as Penn State (6-1 Big Ten, 9-1) moved another step closer to a College Football Playoff berth with its 11th consecutive victory over the Boilermakers (0-7, 1-9). He has 67 receptions for 808 yards and five touchdowns, has run 16 times for 157 yards and four TDs and has thrown a TD pass. “I’m just trying to do my job,” Warren said. “When you have the ball in your hands, you’re supposed to be a threat to score. We’re trying to score every time we touch it.” Allar made his college debut here in 2022 when Sean Clifford received treatment in the locker room for an illness. He completed his first two passes for first downs before he lobbed a strike to Warren, who dropped it in the third quarter of a 35-31 comeback win. Saturday’s game was far less dramatic. Warren caught every pass that Allar threw his way this time. Allar finished 17-for-19 passing for 247 yards and three touchdowns, including one pass that was dropped. He also carried four times for 22 yards. “I don’t think Drew gets talked about enough,” Franklin said. “He’s the same guy. That’s one of the things I love about him. He works as hard as any quarterback I’ve been around. The consistency that he’s had the last two years is impressive.” Penn State scored on its first two possessions and was in command the rest of the way. It was the largest margin of victory by either team in the 21-game series. Purdue played like a team that’s ranked near the bottom or at the bottom in the Big Ten in many statistical categories. Nick Singleton carried seven times for 40 yards and one TD and caught two passes for 20 yards. Wide receiver Harrison Wallace III had two receptions, including a 46-yard score in the third quarter. Running back Kaytron Allen caught a TD pass in the first quarter. Backup quarterback Beau Pribula ran for a 49-yard TD and threw a 24-yard TD strike to freshman tight end Luke Reynolds in the fourth quarter. Penn State defensive ends Abdul Carter and Dani Dennis-Sutton, making his first start in three weeks because of an injury, each had two tackles in the backfield. Dennis-Sutton, Coziah Izzard and Amin Vanover had sacks. “I’m surprised that Abdul doesn’t get more holding calls,” Franklin said. “It’s pretty obvious that he’s an issue coming off the edge. He can probably get three or four more sacks or three or four more holds per game.” Carter and others consistently pressured Purdue quarterback Hudson Card, who was 11-for-20 passing for 151 yards. Penn State rolled up a 539-302 advantage in total yards. The Boilermakers scored their only touchdown in the fourth quarter against Lions reserves. “I thought that was the best game we’ve played overall for four quarters in terms of offense, defense and special teams,” Franklin said. “We needed to find a way to win this game and get better. We did that. We want to continue on that trajectory.”
