What was that dude's problem?

Did I see correctly that Franklin sat him after his personal foul? (Refs missed the first one.)

Franklin makes men out of boys, from what I know. I hope that was the case (that he sat him). Last year, after a close loss to a good team (IIRC), several Penn State players ran for the locker room as soon as the clock hit zero. Franklin sprinted into the tunnel to yank a few players by their shoulder pads back onto the field to go congratulate the other team's players. I like that.

GBR!

I like Franklin. He’s a bit weird but has good values in my opinion. Penn State recruits at an extremely high level and sometimes you get a few punks that are risks.

This. I think he is not being well served by some of his assistants, because with that talent they need to be beating every B1G not named Tosu.

I had the opportunity to listen to Franklin at a coaching clinic last year. Best coach I’ve ever heard. I have a lot of respect for him.

This is to a sense what Urban Meyer was hinting at while he was talking about "looking at whats under the hood"

Probably. But we all know how that will turn out.

Franklin...good values?!

Might want to do some research...

He may have changed, as I know nothing about what has happened at PSU. But I do know that I have a surgeon friend who graduated from Vandy and is what you would call a donor of substance. She was ecstatic when Franklin left because of the sleazy things he was doing.

Honestly, this is about 95% of college coaches. **** is cutthroat and if you want to be good, you've got to play the game. Even the guys that we perceive as being the best character guys do some really shady ****.

Vandy was rapey when Franklin was there

I’m not excusing #69, but every o-line has a cheap shot artist or two. That seemed like a standard offense line chickenshit dirty play to me.

Here's one that didn't get called.

I believe Thomas was injured on this hit.
