Over the years, new Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki has developed a reputation as one of the most creative and daring playcallers in all of college football. In this episode, Coach Codutti unpacks one of Kotelnicki's more popular and successful wrinkles -- the up-tempo sugar huddle. In 2022, Kansas ran this package 22 times and gained 10 first downs and score 4 touchdowns off it.

U are the only dude who actually shows the process behind the new OC. So tired of all the bitching and moaning from the old guard PSU reporting crew. Thank u for a truly meaningful analysis
We appreciate it. Our goal when we started this site 5 years ago was to provide Penn State football coverage that traditional media outlets either couldn't or wouldn't.
Andy K is the greatest hire Coach Franklin has made to date. The training wheels are off the offense and there is no ceiling to how high we fly in 2024
manny diaz was pretty good
You are gonna go 9-3 or 10-2 again next season and if you make the playoff you are gonna have a first round exit and your friendly reminder pennstate is the irrelevant team in the big ten 🤣🤣🤣
@@Jrm-xs9qi if you told me Penn state will go at minimum 9-3 or 10-2 every single year I will take that deal every single time.
@@FranklinFanatic and you will lose the first round of the playoffs every single year if you even make it 🤣
You guys smell that, smells like haterade from a guy who probably feels threatened
Andy Kotelnicki is the sole reason I’m buzzing for next year
BP would be great with his running ability
We'd be shocked if there wasn't a thorough Pribula sub-package of plays this year.
Considering none of these examples require an athletic QB, it feels like Penn State's superior talent compared to Kansas could take these concepts to a whole new level. Although when they don't work, I'm sure our rational and composed fanbase will call them Harry High School crap lol
Note: We think they are clever. But admittedly, a lot of Kansas fans complained like crazy about Kotelnicki's sugar huddles.
To be fair, PSU fans watch what Michigan and Ohio State does and how they win games, and they're wondering when they'll see teams that impose their will on opposing teams.
I mean, this is just a small portion of available examples of this guy “scheming” wide open receivers on 3-4th downs. Yurchich couldn’t do this when it mattered. There was none of this.
And let’s not forget that Kansas had MAYBE 1 NFL player on offense and he absolutely lit up Venables’ defense. Imagine what he’s going to be able to do with an offense with 8-10 NFL players Startinf on offense
And on top of that with a slack division team like Kansas to make them this good offensively says something
I like AK, I think he has a very creative offensive mind and a big time "football guy" personality that Yurcich didn't have or at least show but my biggest concern is this is another OC coming from the Big 12.
Im curious, you mentioned he runs a lot of inside and outside zone. Does he vary his run schemes much?
More at Kansas than he did at Buffalo (which was majority zone scheme), but not as much as Yurcich did at Penn State...although Yurcich is premarily zone-based at OK ST and TX, so perhaps Kotelnicki will implement more gap stuff at PSU.
But what about the amazing....check with me stuf
Now I want Coach to host a hidden camera dating show where he's the wingman to a single woman. Basically coach sees video of crowded bars and clubs and with a telestrator lets the women going in know 'he's eligible, he's eligible, he's not eligible, he's eligible'. And when the woman goes to the crowded bar to get a drink, he goes 'there's a gap here, here, here, here and a gap here"
Curb IS BACK!
Does Kotelnicki run anything conventional? Everything I've seen feels like Im going to the circus
Not sure if serious or not...but if so, Actually we're gonna examine ALL Kotelnicki's stuff -- even the standard stuff. But right now we're distracted by the shiny stuff.
