Taking a look at the play by play it leads to a things maybe weren't as they seem feeling.
 
Allen,
 
Started out going 7 of 9 in the first quarter for 65 yds completing passes to six different guys with three going for 10 or more yards.
 
2nd quarter was rough, he went o for 4.
 
3rd quarter he went 6 or 14 for 89 yds with one INT.
 
Through the next to last possession in the fourth he went 4 for 7 for 32 yds.
 
So before the last possession he was 17 of 34 for 189 yds and one INT.  7 of 17 completions went for more than 10 yds and he distributed the ball to 8 different receivers.   For the first time out of the box that's not awful.  
 
One place where Allen didn't help himself is that his first five attempts on first down, all in good field position, went incomplete.  They hit on those it's a different game.
 
As for the OL there were 41 called pass plays and they gave up two sacks, both in the fourth quarter.   Allen also had one scramble in the fourth were he took off because of coverage and an open field to the right, not really because of pressure.   There were also two QB hurries credited to PSU.    That's not bad, it's something to build on.
