COLUMBUS, Ohio—Two questions into his postgame press conference, Penn State quarterback Drew Allar pressed his thumbs into the corners of his eyes and tried to stop himself from crying. He was unsuccessful. The tears slipped out, the sting of defeat evident in his 19-year-old face.
“It sucks to lose,” the Ohio native said after a 20-12 defeat at Ohio State. “It’s not fun to lose at all.”
Not fun. But familiar when these two teams get together. The pain is perpetual for Penn State.
