Penn State OC Mike Yurcich hopes 1 primary option will emerge from RB rotation
No. 4 Penn State is off to an undefeated start and has been strong offensively overall. However, a consistent No. 1 running back has yet to emerge.
Penn State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich is optimistic that someone will eventually stand out from the pack:
It’s OC Mike Yurcich’s turn in the Thursday media rotation: On RBs, said they need someone to emerge. “You’ll see a rotation and hopefully we can go with more of one particular running back than another.”
