It’s Whiteout Week and James Franklin was happy to talk to the press ahead of Saturday’s game against Iowa. You can read the full transcript here or check out Penn State’s website for a video review complete with Franklin pushups. Otherwise, follow along for the highlights.
Opening Statement
Before addressing Iowa and last week’s win against Illinois, Franklin made a mistake in noting that Saturday would be the 17th full stadium Whiteout. That’s not true and Franklin cranked out a few pushups to make up for his mistake. As for Illinois, he noted that players of the week were Hunter Nourzad on offense, all the guys who came up with turnovers on defense, and Malik McClain on special teams.
