Penn State coach James Franklin declined to answer questions from reporters Wednesday after two of his former players were accused by police of raping a 17-year-old girl in their apartment on July 7.
Partway through his opening statement during a regularly scheduled Monday news conference, Penn State head coach James Franklin made a comment that caught the attention of a local reporter. Franklin, whose team defeated then-No. 19 Illinois at home over the weekend, had already run through the latest injury updates and a statistical recap of the win when the tone seemed to shift, albeit only slightly. He slipped in a quick remark about how important it is for the Nittany Lions to take "a significant step" in their next game — and then quickly veered into an overview of UCLA, whom Penn State will face on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
"Big Noon Kickoff" heads to Penn State this weekend as the No. 7-ranked Nittany Lions, fresh off a victory over Illinois, take on UCLA at Beaver Stadium (Noon ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App).
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It's difficult to say exactly what former Penn State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich might have done had he been the one calling plays when the Nittany Lions assumed possession with 0:32 remaining in the second quarter and the ball at their own 27-yard line, the scoreboard showing a seven-point lead. Perhaps Yurcich, who was fired by head coach James Franklin last November amid a third consecutive subpar season, would have lobbied for a ruthless approach that trusted the decision-making and deftness of quarterback Drew Allar, now a multi-year starter, and pushed the ball downfield knowing he still had one timeout at his disposal and the chance to gore West Virginia with two scores in quick succession. Perhaps the outcome winds up the same: a last-second touchdown from Allar to wide receiver Harrison Wallace III to break the game open and deflate the Mountaineer faithful.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — As the officials turned and faced West Virginia's captains following an opening coin toss that had gone the home team's way, the words of senior safety Aubrey Burks reverberated around Mountaineer Field courtesy of a referee's microphone.
The countdown is on as the first weekend of the 2024 college football season is upon us.
It was a response to the first question during James Franklin's news conference earlier this week in which the Penn State head coach indirectly referenced the breadth of challenges facing his program in 2024, a season that will feature three new coordinators and the vacancies left by eight primary contributors selected in this spring's NFL Draft, four of whom were taken in the first three rounds. Gone, too, are the five wide receivers who entered the transfer portal, headlined by No. 1 target KeAndre Lambert-Smith, now a projected starter at Auburn.
College football Week 1 kicks off this weekend for the 2024 season, and I couldn't be more pumped.
