Report: James Franklin, Penn State Fire OC Mike Yurcich After Loss to Michigan

The Penn State Nittany Lions only managed 238 yards of offense—including just 74 yards through the air—and 15 points against Michigan on Saturday, another disappointing performance against a top conference rival after a 20-12 loss to Ohio State in October.

Those performances were reportedly the final straw for offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich—according to Greg Pickel of On3.com, Penn State fired him on Sunday.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
