'I Take Ownership': James Franklin admits Penn State’s brutal 4-21 top-10 record
Penn State’s latest setback in a marquee matchup has once again placed the spotlight on head coach James Franklin. The Nittany Lions, ranked No. 3, fell 30-24 in double overtime to No. 6 Oregon in front of a “White Out” crowd at Beaver Stadium.
The loss dropped Franklin to 4-21 against Associated Press top-10 opponents during his tenure, including a staggering 1-18 mark against Big Ten teams in that category.
Franklin acknowledged the mounting criticism, saying ,
