Penn State played one of the worst teams of any Power Five team in Week 2 and the Nittany Lions flat-out dominated Delaware.

Drew Allar followed up a solid first performance against West Virginia with another near-perfect game against Delaware. He finished the game 22-for-26 with 204 yards and a touchdown and it didn’t really matter how much he did as the Nittany Lions dominated for 60 minutes en route to a 63-7 win and the defense only allowed 160 total yards.

People seem to be buying a ton of stock in Penn State this season, and for good reason. The offense is putting up numbers and the run game led the way with 315 yards and six touchdowns. The defense also looks to be elite and I wouldn’t be shocked if Penn State is the last Big Ten team standing this season.

For now, Penn State will be the third-highest-ranked Big Ten team after a dominant win behind Michigan and Ohio State.
