STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The night before last year's Peach Bowl, Drew Allar met the last Penn State quarterback to go undefeated. Kerry Collins, named honorary captain for the game against Ole Miss, ate dinner with Allar and the team at their hotel.

The Nittany Lions have boasted winning quarterbacks over the years. But since propelling Penn State to a 12-0 record three decades ago, the 6-foot-5 Collins had not encountered a prototypical Penn State passer who reminded him of when he played -- until Allar.
