Penn State quarterback Drew Allar is not on the injury report Saturday and is expected to play in the showdown between the No. 3 Nittany Lions and visiting No. 4 Ohio State.

Head coach James Franklin had told reporters Monday that evaluating the status of Allar’s injured left knee would be a “timeline that will go all the way up to the game.”

Allar was an active participant during Wednesday’s media practice window.

Allar sustained the injury late in the first half of Saturday’s 28-13 victory at Wisconsin. He warmed up for the second half but was replaced by sophomore Beau Pribula.

Allar completed 14 of 18 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown before exiting and Pribula was 11-of-13 passing for 98 yards and one score. Neither threw an interception against the Badgers.

The Nittany Lions (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) have lost the last seven meetings against the Buckeyes (6-1, 3-1), who bounced back from their one-point loss to Oregon with a 21-17 win over Nebraska on Saturday.

Allar, a junior, has completed 71.3 percent of his passes for 1,640 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions in seven starts this season.
