Drew Allar, Andy Kotelnicki's 'intentionally aggressive' offense look like perfect match
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It's difficult to say exactly what former Penn State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich might have done had he been the one calling plays when the Nittany Lions assumed possession with 0:32 remaining in the second quarter and the ball at their own 27-yard line, the scoreboard showing a seven-point lead. Perhaps Yurcich, who was fired by head coach James Franklin last November amid a third consecutive subpar season, would have lobbied for a ruthless approach that trusted the decision-making and deftness of quarterback Drew Allar, now a multi-year starter, and pushed the ball downfield knowing he still had one timeout at his disposal and the chance to gore West Virginia with two scores in quick succession. Perhaps the outcome winds up the same: a last-second touchdown from Allar to wide receiver Harrison Wallace III to break the game open and deflate the Mountaineer faithful.
