I think they pulled a Boise St and JMU type deal and then caught

Northwestern when they were playing good football and lost an unnecessarily tough game. Add on all the negative on Franklin with a big game and the AD with a hair trigger and that’s how we end up w Franklin.

Except PSU under Franklin played very few good OOC teams in reg season**
marcbvtgm • 12/27/25 09:39 PM ET
They let Oregon beat them three times **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/27/25 07:06 PM ET
And they didn’t beat Ohio State which was viewed as a benchmark**

lazarus1 • 12/27/25 05:46 PM ET
Crazy thing is they could have won all three **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/27/25 07:19 PM ET
