Massive contract for Michigan State's Tucker sure to make Franklin envious and anxious

ALTOONA, Pa. -- James Franklin wants more. And more. He's not unlike all college football coaches in that regard, always on the lookout for every little thing that can help his program.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

But lately, Franklin seems to keep publicly reminding everybody at every turn how he wants more from Penn State from a commitment standpoint (BTW: He means money and resources). Even if he's not wrong to bring that up from a big-picture standpoint, it sure has started to come across like he's making excuses for why the Nittany Lions have struggled on the field this season.
