Finding a new quarterback is difficult. Especially when the former passer just so happens to be the All-Time passing leader of the program. Yes, we’re discussing Trace McSorley’s departure from the Penn State football program. And no, they don’t have his replacement figured out yet.
We understand the James Franklin way. As a competetive coach, Franklin refuses to just hand out a starting position without there being a fight. And when it comes to the quarterback, also known as the general of the offense, you have to be almost one-hundred percent sure before announcing the final decision, because the position is far too important to screw up.
