If Drew Allar wants to point any fingers of blame on anyone before throwing a game-changing pick in the loss to Notre Dame, he can do that with Greg McElroy.

With 47 seconds left and Penn State tied with the Fighting Irish at 24, the ESPN analyst had this to say: "For the most part, all season long, his whole career, Drew Allar's made good decisions. He's got 50-plus touchdowns, only 9 career interceptions. It's not likely a guy that's gonna put the ball in harm's way. I trust him."

Oops. Guess what happened not long after. He threw an interception, and Notre Dame won.

That's rough.
