Jordan Van Den Berg

Franklin mismanaged 101: Failed to identify him as a player. Failed to keep him.
Right now how badly could this team have used him? Playing at an All American level for Georgia Tech and is far and away better than any DT on our roster.

Kid wanted to play and went to GT, good for him.

Zane Durant is seen by most as having a horrible season. Thru 7 games, he has 18 tackles, 2 sacks, and an interception.

Jordan Van Den Berg is having an "All American level" season for Georgia Tech. Thru 7 games, he has 20 tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Hope that Van Den Berg has lots of success this season...but he's hoping to be in the mix as an All-ACC Honorable Mention guy, not an All American.

This might be your dumbest take yet. And that’s a high bar

Barely played at PSU and looked mostly ineffective when he did.

Well we could start another one with how bad PSU was against UCLA and if Franklin was still coaching against Indiana that Indiana might break 100 points against PSU ... Indiana 35 UCLA 3 at halftime

Franklin’s fault! He was downcoaching him.

He was in the program for two years. He couldn’t play in the big games. He had plenty of time to prove himself! Did I do it right?

It's a disgrace what Penn State has been lowered to

Why's he good now?
What changed?

I grab a Stella with every bash Franklin thread… been drunk for 2 straight weeks!

For starters, JvdB is now older, presumably stronger, definitely more experienced, and plays in a weaker conference than the Big Ten.

Pretty effective now.

He certainly would help but lets pump on the brakes at "playing at an All American Level".

Is this the same guy but with different board names?

It’s the legendary 21Guns (along with a whole lot of other names).

Seriously? I was thinking that his starting a “Today’s Games” thread reflected his unfamiliarity with Tom’s “Use this thread to post about this weekend’s non-PSU games” routine, thus leading me to conclude that he is indeed a new poster.

All fair...but it's not ONLY that as I'm sure you would acknowledge

Franklin badly mismanaged the roster and misjudged his talent.

Better than anything PSU has this year. Are you defending Franklin?

Van Den Berg is better than any current Penn State defensive tackle.

Sure why not? Many on here love to beat a dead horse.
