Franklin said he has no update on Sean Clifford’s status moving forward.
“I have a hard time with our players getting hurt…and to all the Iowa people out there: that’s not a part of our plan.”

He then added that he didn’t like that anytime after one of his players got hurt, Iowa fans would boo since they were thinking it was fake.
Franklin added he has a “hard time” with his players getting booed after getting injured.

Finally, Franklin ended his thoughts on the booing as he thinks that it’s not good for college football and it’s likely that everyone would agree with him there.

If Clifford is out for any amount of time, it would put a big damper into Penn State’s season as they were rolling while he was the starter. Coming into this game, he had an 11 touchdown to 3 interception ratio with 1,336 yards passing.
