Top 10 Most Iconic Penn State Football Plays of the James Franklin Era
Discover the defining moments of James Franklin's time at Penn State Football and relive the top ten unforgettable plays.
It’s a good list IMO; in terms of how big they were for the program, I’d find a way to include Sam Ficken’s game winning FG against UCF in Ireland in Franklin’s debut and the bookend to that season, Hackenberg’s TD to Kyle Carter and subsequent game winning XP by Ficken in the 2014 Pinstripe Bowl.
In terms of sheer ridiculousness, Barkely’s run against USC is tops for me.
The Mo Bamba stuff is so damn overrated. Ooooooo, we made Michigan take a timeout on the first play of the game. Big f'ing deal. The direct snap to Barkley on the first play of the game vs Michigan for a TD needs to be on that list. You could make a case for the fake punt against Minnesota replacing the Key Lee TD as PSU was on a drive in that game and someone was probably scoring.
Going for two and not getting it early in games. I remember those more than anything.
I think it was the greatest run I have ever seen
Booby Sanders run on 4th and 4 right into nations’s top DL…sheer genius.
