The Indiana quarterback situation
Brendan Sorsby is the Hoosiers' current QB1, beating out Tayven Jackson for the job in an offseason "full of secrecy and drama" (via Sports Illustrated). However, Indiana has stumbled out of the gate this season. Sorsby's performance has also been not up to par yet.
His last three games (all of them losses) saw him log 84, 44 and 126 passing yards. Two of those three games saw him have 40% and 48% completions, punctuated by a bad game against the #2-ranked Michigan Wolverines.
Sorsby has logged 420 pass yards this season with a CMP% of 51.1.
The Penn State quarterback situation
Penn State's starting QB for this game will be Drew Allar, as it's been so far this year.
Considering his performances so far, Allar's importance to the Nittany Lions cannot be understated. That loss against the Ohio State Buckeyes saw the QB log a mere 42.9% CMP (18-of-42), even if he did have 191 passing yards. People rightfully expect him to bounce back against a lower-ranked team, one whose total defense is ranked #58.
