UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Late last season, Penn State head coach Russ Rose decided to make a change, switching the Nittany Lions from a 5-1 to a 6-2 offense.
The 6-2 offense allows for two setters to be on the floor at the same time, meaning one setter is always in the back row, giving the team six attackers at all times as opposed to only five in a traditional 5-1.
Rose opted for the change in large part due to the experience of his veteran setters, redshirt junior Bryanna Weiskircher and senior Abby Detering, knowing the benefit of having both on the floor at the same time.
