Exactly, attempting to judge Franklin's entire body of work by two games last year is utter garbage. The guys overall record was very good. He took us to CFP Sponsored post-season games in 7 of his 11 full years and he inherited a team that had just over 50 scholarship players (in an era where you couldn't buy Free Agents). His overall record especially after his first 2 years was very good. Franklin's teams were always competitive against everybody they played - this team looks so uncompetitive while spending more $$$ on this team, it is utterly absurd that anyone supports this cluster-f created by Krafty The Clownboy.
Bushie--what is with the "CFP Sponsored post-season games"? It makes your argument 100x worse

Why would you put your hand on your facemask while in the set position at all, at any time?
Probably because he's an 18 year old true freshman playing the hardest position on the field? Why people expected this to work out is beyond me: Almost zero programs start true freshmen at left tackle. It's an indictment of how thin this roster was after last season.

Oh, well that would be an indictment of Krafty The Clown then as PSU lost 6 OL from their Roster and 3 more from their 2026 Class of HS Commits after Kraft's Folly last season. Good Lord you Franklin-hate endless excuse makers are ridiculous.

Here's a good example of what an arrogant buffoon Kraft is...... Chesney made it publicly known that he was getting offers but preferred the PSU job over all of them. Krafty The Clown dismissed him out of hand, wouldn't even speak with him..... He's undefeated and 2-0 to-date in the b1g - somehow he's found a way to have UCLA competitive.

He is a redshirt freshman - in year 2. It’s not unusual at all to start such a player in this era.
