I don't know the answers for this, but Penn State hasn't scored more than 24 points in any Big Ten game. Prior to coming to Penn State, I expect that Yurcich offenses scored more than 24 points 90% of the time. Granted, one of those years was at Ohio State, but in all the rest I would have to assume he had less to work with than he does here.
That just doesn't make sense. Something, maybe several things, has to be fundamentally wrong.
