I saw a lot of people pick UCLA for the playoff and thought they were nuts for trusting a true freshman QB to take them there, but he was dropping dimes today. Still think its crazy, but he was impressive.
His teams at Vanderbilt were OK but not good. He got hired because few legitimate coaches wanted the job with the sanctions in place. Supposedly he's a good recruiter but any decent coach with the PSU backers behind them should be able to draw good players to the program. I would have hired Munchak not Franklin but that's water over the dam at this point.Franklin's not building my confidence in him.
Edit: He'll be canned in two years.
Hey Defense, how about you show up Oregon?
Penn state is about 4 times better this year than last. Its going to be another crushing defeat. Especially since PSU takes over the Linc so Temple has zero home field advantage.
Yeah I don't see it happening. The Linc just doesn't fill up for Temple games. I'd wager the Owls average fewer than 25k people per home game. You gotta figure of that 25K-ish figure, probably a thousand or two are there for the away team, another handful are just there because they got free tickets or had nothing better to do and aren't really cheering for anyone. With PSU it would not surprise me to see 40k plus just for the PSU people. Temple is gonna get creamed.
Not a huge college football fan but I love watching PSU lose. I don't live anywhere near State College but by the way their fans and alums around me talk you would have thought they did something in the past 10 years.

Franklin had better step it up or he'll be gone at the end of next season. Hackenburg is slow but so is the entire offense. With his poor foot speed, he'll never make it in the pros. I don't know what else is in the offense but it's about Purdue level awful.
Well Oregon vs Michigan State should be fun next week. Wonder what the O/U is gonna be
