ALTOONA, Pa. -- Mike Yurcich didn't go full on Mike Leach with all sorts of zany sayings, but one gets the feeling that, given enough time and familiarity with the media, Yurcich would turn into a soundbite machine.
During a Zoom call Thursday morning, Yurcich talked about his wife liking trick plays, discussed why an offense doesn't need sex appeal, made a joke about Tom Brady and invoked some Penn State history with a cool story about Rip Engle.
The offensive coordinator weaved all that in and out of some excellent football discussion, providing a lot of good details and insight into the Nittany Lions' offense.
