After winning the coin toss, an aggressive James Franklin elected to receive in an attempt to punch Kentucky in the mouth first. Penn State’s first drive? Incompletion, incompletion, eight-yard run, and a botched fake punt at their own 33-yard line to force a turnover on downs.
As his defense ran off the field for the first time, a fiery Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops shouted “Bring it on!” from the sideline.

After running up the score in the final seconds back in 2013 with the game in hand as Vanderbilt’s head coach, Stoops is no friend of Franklin.
