The Penn State football team fired offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich on Sunday after the team's 24-15 loss to Michigan at home. On today's BWI Live show, we discuss what happened on the field that led to that decision. We'll take you through the game plan against Michigan, some of the major sticking points for the offense and what head coach James Franklin had to say about the matter.
Join the show at 10 a.m. on YouTube for the exclusive video broadcast of the Keystone Kickoff Show, which is aired in partnership with the Blue White Illustrated YouTube channel.
Game Day execution a big sticking point for Penn State staff
The Penn State offense developed a plan each week of how they were going to attack the opposing offense. But, accoring to Franklin, that plan didn't get executed correctly each week. When asked to clarify what he meant about getting quarterback Drew Allar into a rhythm early, Franklin said it was more than just that.
"As you can imagine, I have conversations about all the things I have concerns about, and more so than I speak in the press conferences.
"I think you guys have heard me come in and talk, whether it's openers, third down, starting fast, all these things are things that we've had lengthy discussions about and had a plan for, but a lot of the times when we got to the games, either we did not call the games that way or we did not execute the games the way we intended them to."
Those things were asked for."
We'll discuss how the Michigan game was a terrible example of getting Allar into rhythm and how Yurcich took what the defense gave him to the detriment of his passing game.
Penn State running game
There was a viral clip of Penn State running back Nick Singleton missing a potential touchdown run on the Nittany Lion's drive that led to a field goal. We'll discuss how that play is a microcosm of how Singleton is performing this year and what factors led to him not taking the cutback lane for a touchdown. It's a systmatic issue for Penn State who aren't putting their players in the best position to succeed.
We'll also discuss how the offensive performance is inconsistent from even the stronger positions like tight end and the offensive line. Check out the show here, or on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel.
