STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State coach James Franklin walked off the field and down the tunnel inside Beaver Stadium on Saturday to fans calling for his job after a 24-15 loss to Michigan.
The fans booed during the game when Franklin ran the ball on third down, failing to get a first down, and booed a loss that puts Franklin's record as Penn State's coach at 1-12 against Associated Press top-five opponents. It was the Nittany Lions' second loss of the season to a top-five opponent, the first coming in a 20-12 defeat against Ohio State, and Franklin is now 4-16 against Ohio State and Michigan, which are No.
