The struggles of the Penn State offense have led to a rare in-season staff change for head coach James Franklin. After removing Mike Yurcich as offensive coordinator following a loss to Michigan, the Penn State offense still lacked the desired explosiveness and quick passing fans had hoped to see against Rutgers. And an injury to quarterback [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] may have prevented any further development in last week’s game with Ja’Juan Seider and Ty Howle handling the offensive playcalling.
Penn State’s offense looks to have Allar available this week as they play Michigan State in Detroit on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Will the Nittany Lions end the year with a bang against the Spartans and retain possession of the Land Grant Trophy? Or will the offense still have their moments of agony that will be sure to frustrate fans?
Here is a look at how Penn State’s offense stacks up according to the numbers this season against the Michigan State defense.
