The game might be said and done, but Penn State is still clapping back at Pitt about, of course, clapping.
Franklin lamented after the Nittany Lions’ 42-39 loss Saturday at Heinz Field that Pitt’s defense was clapping ahead of the snap, which threw off the Penn State offense. Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi responded after the game, saying it was “just another excuse” from the losing side.
Franklin had another retort at his weekly press conference Tuesday when asked about any clarity he received from the Big Ten Conference on the clap cadence calamity.
“It’s illegal,” Franklin said.
