3 Reasons For Optimism: Penn State Offense

During James Franklin’s first two years at Penn State, the offense could only be described as “meh.” Under the guidance of then-offensive coordinator John Donovan, the Nittany Lions were largely ineffective, only scoring 569 points in 2014 and 2015 combined. Out was Donovan and in came Joe Moorhead, and as you probably know, it worked out really, really well. Points (526 to be exact) were scored, championships were won, and fun was had.

Now the expectations have risen, to the point that the Nittany Lions head into 2017 with potentially the best offense in the country. Whether you’re wearing Blue and White glasses or not, there’s a lot to like about the offense.
