It’s been eight years since the Penn State football team went to the Big Ten Championship game and won in 2016 against Wisconsin. Franklin was not interested in discussing the potential program-wide benefits of winning the title again.

“Great opportunity, playing the number one team in the country. We’re excited about that. That’s what we control. That’s what we’re focused on, not focused on anything else. I mean, I understand the question, I appreciate the question, but we’re just focused on trying to beat the number one team in the country, Oregon, in Indianapolis, in the Big 10, and just totally focused on that, and not any of the other scenarios or discussions.”

We’ll discuss Franklin’s other comments that stood out from Wednesday evening.
