As the game was coming to an end, Penn State coach James Franklin received a Gatorade bath. After all, it’s tradition.

But, Franklin was caught by surprise by the bath. He wanted to tackle the person responsible (in a fun way, of course).

And so, Franklin wrapped up senior linebacker Cam Brown — the culprit — perfectly:

Folks, this is how you tackle. Penn State can look back on this game and show its 2020 team how to do certain things correctly.

It can look back to this tackle when teaching defenders how to wrap up as well.
