As Penn State enters 2024 toting a sack full of question marks at WR, the lion’s share of optimism related to the passing game rests inside Andy Kotelnicki’s big, beautiful brain.

In early July, I received this less-than-concise email from my editor:
It feels like 100 percent of the optimism around the Penn State passing game entering 2024 isn’t that the WRs improve, or Drew Allar takes the next step, BUT RATHER that Andy Kotelnicki can “scheme guys open.” I’ve heard this mentioned multiple times on various outlets.
So here’s the article: 1. Intro: Is “scheming guys open” real, or it is just some bulls**t talking point pundits use when you’re stuck with mediocre skill guys? Then 2. The Beef: If that’s the case, just how does Andy Kotelnicki scheme guys open?
Thankfully, the answer to Question 1 is an emphatic YES…or else, this would have been a real Shetland Pony of a blog post.
