Penn State Head Coach James Franklin
Opening Statement ...
First of all I want to give Michigan State and coach Dantonio credit. They're the No. 5 team in the country for a reason. They played very well today so I need to give them credit. For us, we didn't play good enough obviously to win. Defensively, not having (Garrett) Sickles and (Carl) Nassib affected us. We went up against a big physical offensive front. They were able to run the ball consistently against us today. Offensively we were able to move the ball.
