After its huge win against Auburn in Week 3, Penn State is getting set for one last tune-up before B1G play.

Penn State coach James Franklin met the media Tuesday ahead of the final game of the non-conference slate and spoke further about that victory over Auburn — and how “resilient” his team was.

The Nittany Lions pulled out a thrilling 28-20 victory over Auburn during Beaver Stadium’s annual “White Out” game last week, and while Franklin didn’t directly address it, he was clearly frustrated with the officiating. That could be why he thought Penn State was “fighting more than just Auburn.”

Here’s more of what Franklin had to say.
