This is all on James Franklin. There’s arguably MORE talent on the Penn State roster, and what does he do with it? His zero risk game planning and play calling keeps all that skill in its shell. Even when Penn State finally took a risk on 4th and 3 that somehow felt scripted.
A talent advantage that can beat 10 teams on their schedule every year. But when up against the two teams with rosters just as loaded - OSU & UM - Franklin falls on his face. Same story different year.
