Welcome to Season 4 of FTB Film Study! After completely transforming Kansas' offense into one of the most potent attacks in Power 5 football, offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki is now taking his talents to Happy Valley. In this video, Coach Codutti outlines the principles and general philosophy that made Kotelnicki one of the most-feared playcallers in college football and a "must get" for Penn State head coach James Franklin.

Been waiting on this one like it was Christmas Eve!
I’ve been saying, “I won’t have a final take till my man Coach Codutti breaks it down” Time to finalize my take.
I’m holding off excitement on AK, time will tell. Coach broke down MY and I got excited 3 years ago, so I’m just going to wait and see.
Another PSU 'fan' showing their trauma. 🙄🙄
@@jonbutton3259 It's really more like _skepticism_ and that is totally warranted with this coaching staff.
I miss him already. Treat him well
These imaginative, concepts, schemes, and play calls putting your players in winnable situations more often and using leverage against the defense has been missing at PSU for some years. Looking forward to Kotelnicki’s offensive mind at work.
Looks like fun for the next several years. Look out B1G.
LOVE the comment from the TTU coach--thanks for sharing. Lots to be excited about here, but the biggest for me is play action. If I had a dollar for every time I said "man right now is a great time for play action," only for Yurcich to slam the RB up the middle for 1 yard, I'd be rich. I especially love PA off of wide zone because of the pressure it puts on the safeties. I can't imagine trying to figure out whether or not to follow the "flow" of the play against this offense. Also, I LOVE the diamond set, particularly with our talent TE. Very glad to hear that isn't going away.
He ran PA passes out of pistol and even under center early in the season, which allowed Allar to get deeper drops, only to promptly forget about those plays when the conference games starte
Been waiting on this one like it was Easter🐰!
Good breakdown here as usual. For me, this guy draws NFL comparisons to Kyle Shannahan's offense... inside /outside zone run reads with play action and a lot of motion but with a college flavor. Puts defenses in a lot of conflict. This works for Brock Purdy (non mobile QB) should be good for Allar. Thoughts?
Coach K has done it with all sorts of personnel. Mobile QBs, NFL QBs, 3rd string QB, no QB, … And I’m guessing everyone of your WRs was more highly rated than KUs. Really though, all the analysis is secondary to the opening comment from the TTU D coach. He’s glad he doesn’t have to defend against Coach Ks O.
This new OC reminds me of Yurcich watching this video. I know he's the new big thing, but Yurcich did a lot window dressing and goofy formations getting too cute. The #1 thing I want to see is a downfield passing attack. We didn't get this big arm 5 star Drew Allar to dink and dunk 90% of the game.
You'd have to watch an entire game to have an opinion on how he can react to defensive pressure and in-game adjustments. A scheme is just that. It's about game planning, execution and how you react when it's not working, or your starting left OT is out with an injury. Every scheme will work if you have the talent and solid execution.
Yurcich was a "window dresser" that had "goofy formations," but had no real plan. AK does window dressing and goofy formations and actual includes these as a staple in the offense. There is execution behind it and there is a purpose. Something that was missing with MY. The only "goofy" formation that was a staple and worked was the old school Wing-T run.
@@dmayfield125 I loved the wing T and wasn't referring to that. Too much 12 personnel for me. Yurcich was the anti-spread.
@@PSU2024 You want 12 personnel when your RBs and TEs are your best threats. You just need to use them in creative ways. Good play callers know how to use their best guys to get the max advantage out of them. Moorhead knew how. Yurcich was too married to winning every down by calling "the right play" based on what the defense was showing that he forgot about matchups. The left side of the line would cave the defense on a running play, and he would never go back to it.
@@dmayfield125 The thing about the T formation is that it's not goofy. There are hundreds of books about it. But for Yurcich, he only saw it as a gimmick. Did they ever learn more than the sneak and the sweep play? Did they ever run a true PA pass out of it, or a belly, or a trap, or a counter? They could have actually done some work with that formation if he had actually used the next set of plays after the ones you learn in peewee football. Particularly on a team with two RBs and two TEs who could start at almost any other school
Man, trying to spell the name of Penn State’s last three OCs is gonna be like a spelling bee
Coach K.
Coach how do you get the all 22 or aerial cam film? Is there somewhere online you can buy it or anywhere its available?
email us at fortheblogy@gmail.com
Thanks Coach! So, everything’s out of the shotgun?
vs. Illinois in 2023 (most recent film we have) only snaps where qb had hands under center were the end of game kneel downs.
@@ForTheBlogy ok, thanks again!
Let's hope the players are intelligent enough and disciplined to run the offense!
It’s not like KU is lining up a bunch of Rhode Scholars. The players love it. While it’s really stressful for the D, it builds really easily for the O.
Good Men. Want to see a Hairy Putter in every vestibule of every house on Frat Row... We ARE ( And we're sick of this 10 OUT OF 11 MR FRANKLIN !!! )
Illegal man Downfield at 4:41 mark
narc lol
Power football will always work. The new age deviations make the game to convoluted. Been going back and watching games from the 73, 86 and 93 teams. Back then the offense went north and south. Trying to run side to side hoping for gaps is for undersized teams. Franklin hasn’t realized in 10 years that he isn’t at vandy anymore.
Let's see how power football works for Michigan against Alabama. Their offense has gotten painful to watch - and they're finally going up against a team that will smash them in the mouth right back with superior talent.
Do you remember the kid from Buffalo who ran for 300 yards in one game, then ran for 400 and 8TDs in the next game? Kotelnicki was calling those plays. If it works, he'll just keep doing it
This mentality is why some folks in the PSU fanbase want a civil war over CJF right now. Whine and complain cuz it doesn't look like JoePa and Ganter's stuff. Those offenses were great for their time, and maybe those playbooks will come back around, but not yet. Time to get onboard. Football is different now, and complaining about every damned thing doesn't help anything.
@@robsherrill8130 first off, Michigan can throw the football with an excellent QB at the helm IF THEY NEED TO. Secondly, at least they get to play the Alabamas of the world BECAUSE THEY WON THE B1G!! The biggest problem Penn State has is the fact that Franklin is NOT a gameday coach. Hopefully, as many have said, he stays out of the offense. Whether you run 21 personnel or 12, I have thought it makes zero sense to hand a ball off to a standing still rb 5-6 yards deep to gain 1 yard. Wisky is changing their offense from power, but the jury is still out. They did not win the west, an inept Iowa did with zero offense.
@jonbutton3259 I 💯 percent agree with you buddy!!! The things Joe Pa and Fran Ganter did in their day, was awesome 👌 but sadly times have changed big time, and you have to adapt with the present, literally!!!! I truly hope 🙏 Andy is the man for the job and turn this offense into a serious potent scoring machine!!!! WE have to give the man a chance at least!!!! I hope he is a Joe Moorehead type dude!!!@ Thanks 👍
The problem is the HC.
If Warren, Johnson, Meiga and/or Lambert-Smith go NFL, Coach K isn't going to have a lot to work with intermediate. Especially if defenses know Allar isn't going to run of read option. As @cjboyer4355 pointed out, for a pocket QB we may see play calling closer to what freshman Ballard ran filling in for Bean. That could involve slow developing plays to the flat/ wide zone that gets us behind the sticks which won't help the third conversions.
Wasn’t expecting a shout out in this video lol if Allar is the talent he’s hyped to be Andy will work the offense to make him as successful as possible. I wouldn’t worry so much about the play making positions but rather how good is your I-line? The better the line the better the play calls.
I wouldn’t draw many conclusions from a 3rd string former walkon QB running the O. It’s totally different when Coach K has a chance to prepare the players.
Problem: we loved Yurcich before he started at Penn State too. These plays take time to run, that’s the problem. There isn’t this kinda time in the B1G. How bout power run game James? Plain ol Michigan, Wisky, run the ball with great blocking. This guy will be another Franklin scapegoat in 3-4 years. Franklin just won’t learn.
False. Kotelnicki knows more than you believe it or not!!
@@blizzardwarning5198 yep, so did Yurch. LOL!
Our WRs need to get better they are not acceptable for goals of rest of the team. Better spend some NIL money here.
If Kyle Shanahan can run this type of offense in the NFL what makes you think it can’t be done at Penn State? Also it’s not like Ohio State is playing smash mouth football either.
@@blizzardwarning5198 It's not about whether any OC knows more than the people on KZhead. It's about whether he knows more than the DC on the other side.
