JF on state of #PennState football: I'm proud but I'm not satisfied. If everybody looked at the big picture, they should be very very proud of what our guys do on the field, off the field and in the classroom.

12:55

JF: I can't imagine there are 8 tight ends in the country people would take over Pat Freiermuth.

12:54

JF on Jan Johnson not being finalist for Burlsworth Trophy:
I can’t imagine there's a former walk-on in the country with as interesting and as unique a story as Jan Johnson.

12:52

JF calls the one penalty called against Penn State in the Indiana game "interesting."
It was the intentional grounding penalty, where Clifford threw the post and Dotson ran the corner on the option route. Nobody around where the ball went.

JF on #PennState pass defense last 2 weeks:
We haven’t helped ourselves. We’ve had blown coverages. It happens with everybody. Unfortunately, we’ve got burned, we’ve got caught when we’ve done that.

12:47

JF on KJ Hamler's status for Ohio State game: We’re hopeful. There are medical procedures and policies that we go through. I remain hopeful.

"We accept some things that I don't know why we're accepting, that we would never have accepted before. ... Whether you've had 14 Budweisers or not, I don't know why it's acceptable.''

12:44

Franklin: You hate to see it, but it's the reality of our society. You see a lot of things in society that we accept that I don't know why we're accepting.

12:43

Franklin on death threats: It's troubling, I'll tell you that.

Franklin on Sean Clifford receiving death threats on social media: "I don't know where we are as a society. It's concerning. We're 9-1. We're ranked top 10. Have had a pretty good year. Sometimes go on social media and you don't feel that way."

12:42

JF on Ohio State: The most talented roster we've faced this year and probably since we've been here.

12:34

#PSU Players of Week
O: All the offensive linemen.
D: Micah Parsons.

12:33

Sean Clifford: “It’s kind of sad to say, but you know how fans sometimes get, it gets a little crazy. I was kind of sick and tired of getting death threats and some pretty explicit and tough-to-read messages." #PennState

12:11

Day: "Our team knows what's at stake. But now it's ... This is a talent-equated game. We know we've had game when we've had more talent. In this game, talent equates..."

12:08

#PennState LB Jan Johnson (Gov. Mifflin) was not among 3 finalists for Burlsworth Trophy who were announced this morning. He's played very well.

11:13

Sean Clifford on deleting social media. Said he received death threats after #PennState loss to Minnesota.

Beautiful tribute to a man who served as inspiration and guiding light to a boy growing up in northeastern Pa. who aspired to be a sports writer. I only met Bill, which was a thrill, but like many others I read him and revered him. Well done and well said, Mike.

A column on Bill Lyon, the best of us. I love you, sir. RIP.

Former Inquirer sports columnist Bill Lyon dies at 81 inquirer.com/sports/bill-ly…

Agreed.

It’s November. Penn State is 9-1 (many picked 3-4 losses), was ranked No. 4 in CFP, controls its own destiny, has been by most statistical measures 1 of the top teams in the country and just came thru a brutal 5-game stretch 4-1.

Can’t believe how many fans seem disappointed.

11:16

Was perusing the CF standings and came across this:
LSU, Georgia and #PennState are the only FBS teams with at least 3 wins over ranked opponents.

Watch center Michal Menet's block here. Creates the hole for Journey Brown. He had a terrific game and is playing at a very high level.

It's amazing how a straightforward play in Penn State's book managed to just gut Indiana like this. Even with a nice pick from the ref.
