I think Penn State is going to be really good, but they just have to prove it and go win the B1G by beating M/OSU. With regards to OSU/Mich- Franklin is at where Jeem was at in regards to facing Ohio State- no benefits of the doubt given- nobody had any reason to believe- just have to prove it and stfu and just go do it before anyone will actually believe it.
Franklin is 1-8 vs Ohio State and 3-6 vs Michigan- and one of those wins vs Michigan was that f'd up COVID year when Jeem went 2-4 and had by far the worst team he's ever had at Michigan...if you take that one out and Franklin is 2-6 vs M....which is not great...and half those losses were smack downs.... 49-10 (2016), 42-7 (2018), and 41-17 (2022- honestly should've been even worse- like 55-7).
They absolutely have the talent to do it, but should anyone really believe it until they actually you know...actually go do it?
