Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has been on steady decline when it comes to his prospects of winning this year's Heisman Trophy, dating back to the early summer when he was listed with the fifth-shortest odds overall – and notably the shortest among all Big Ten quarterbacks.

After four weeks of action, a Big Ten quarterback is now indeed the favorite to win the prestigious award this December for the first time this season.

But after a rocky start during which he's racked up just 626 passing yards and four touchdowns against Nevada, FIU, and Villanova, three teams Penn State was favored to beat by at least 40 points each, Allar is not that quarterback.
