[FULL] Penn State’s James Franklin sounds off after loss to Ohio State | ESPN

Penn State head coach James Franklin reacts to his team’s loss to Ohio State in Week 5, saying he is “hurting” for his guys in the locker room.

The OSU vs Penn State games are an example of why the B1G represents some of the best NCAA college football anywhere in the country. The B1G provides competitive football programs with the best fans and bands around. Those teams that escape the B1G season unscathed, will typically be in the running for the College Football Playoffs. Go B1G go Bucks!

i am a true buckeye fan but after hearing the Coach talk about his new perspective going from Great to Elite really gave me a new respect for him. He is 100% right when he talks about everyone doing the little things consistently to win the tough ball games. I have a deep respect for him and wish the Penn State Group much success in the coming years.!!! To be a Juggernaut in this Football Country you have to play with perfection, always follow the fundementals and care deeply about your position and execute every play like it was your last. I honestly can say Penn State is an elite football program, Just have to clean up mistakes.. Ohio State made many mistakes in the first half also. Tough Loss for Penn State country!!! Good Luck the rest of the year!!!

I do appreciate him not putting the ball in their great QB's hands on the last play though.

[@bobbydenezza7795]

PSU fan here. I love to tell you it was a great game and I thought both teams played well but just to put things into perspective Penn State does not have the right coach to lead him to a playoff or national championship. James Franklin is not on Urban's Meyers level or Nick Saban's level in terms of that. we will never win a National Championship or get to the Elite level until we fire some coaches on this staff because of poor play calling late in the game to close the game for the second year in a row against an elite opponent. Recruiting isn't good enough either. Franklin said himself after the game during his press conference that they are great but not Elite. Penn State has work to do to get to that level.

What I learned from this game is that Haskins has and extremely accurate arm. I also learned that our receivers need to not drop passes early in the game. I also learned that Haskins is not that mobile. And situations when it's 4th and 1 I think there needs to be a play-calling package that features Tate Martell and both backs in the backfield. I firmly believe on that for someone that JT could have converted that and Tate I believe will be a better person than JT and that he would have made that play

I could not even make it through 1/4 of this before realizing this coach is the issue between being great and elite. He repeatedly said "obviously" but he somehow does not realize the obvious. He also said they lost by 1 point this year and lost by 1 point last year and the reason is because his poor choices. He thought that they cannot beat teams like Ohio State by kicking field goals. Well Coach Franklin you proved yourself wrong. That 1 field goal you chose not to try would have given you the win this year. I would have to watch last year's game again to remember if he screwed up in the same way then. He also had an opportunity to kick an extra point in the 3rd quarter but chose to go for 2 and failed. His decisions cost the team 4 points.

Penn State has 4 senior starters on this team in their final year of eligibility. Clearly there are still a few noticeable gaps (e.g., DL), but they will continue to grow and (hopefully) get to the level of OSU which is the conference gold standard. Say what you will about the blown 4th and 5 call (if you're paying attention OC Rhane manned-up and owned it - no excuses), but this is a very good, well-coached team that is on the upswing.

[@jimmy5634]

Elite football teams are loaded with elite talent. Penn State has a few elite players. Schools like Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, have elite players as backups who could start for Penn State right now.

[@julianandygumbs4363]

???, my take is simple they called atleast 4 bad fourth down play, they have a streaky kicker that was completely unreliable. They never adjusted to the bubble screen and wr screen, and hb screen, they ran those same screen for total success in the 2nd half. They had no running outside of the QB, yet called for a TB draw on 4th down, to the blitzing side of OSU defense. 4/5 ball was batted down on the same side of the Dline because they passed the ball to the side of a 6'5" DE. The WR dropped So Many Balls it was unreal. They blitzed on obvious screen pass formations on third down, because it worked in the first half. They should have blown out OSU, if they took away the screen passes, it's just that simple. When they were up 12-0, going into the half and the RB fumbled, the RB showed they were not reliable At All, so why go away from what has worked all night, the QB scramble to a running play was simply, game.....
