Ricky Rahne — Joe Moorhead's replacement and a critical piece to Penn State's playoff push in 2018 — is "too smart" not to succeed, according to head coach James Franklin. And perhaps the smartest thing Rahne's done so far is not change a thing.
Sometimes, when a new offensive coordinator enters the fold, they selfishly want their fingerprints all over the offense. Not Rahne. As expected, he has kept Moorhead's offense in place — the same scheme that led the Nittany Lions to average 39.3 points per game over the past two seasons and the same scheme Rahne used in Penn State's 35-28 Fiesta Bowl win over Washington.
