Penn State coach James Franklin doesn’t think the Michigan Wolverines secondary plays all that fair.

While Franklin didn’t call Michigan’s D a bunch of cheaters, he made it clear on Wednesday that he feels the unit bend rules and that Michigan coaches teach the players these tactics.

Franklin’s comments

  • “They hold. They grab, they hold, they tug, they pull. They get called for it a decent amount, but they also get away with it a lot more.
  • “They’re gonna run with ya and be in your hip, but while they’re in your hip they’re grabbin’ your pants, grabbing your hip, very rarely is it the jersey because you see the jersey, they’re well coached at it.
