James Franklin discusses gap between top B1G East programs following tough loss at home
James Franklin suffered a loss at home to Ohio State in Week 9. He was asked about gap between Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State.
Franklin lost to Michigan earlier in the year and is now 0-2 against currently ranked B1G teams this season. The Nittany Lions could not get out of their own way in the 44-31 loss to the Buckeyes.
Franklin noted that the team made too many mistakes in crucial moments during the game.
“We played really well against Ohio State today,” said Franklin. “We had a chance to win the game. But made too many mistakes in critical moments, which you can’t do against a top-ranked opponent like this.”
