James Franklin comments on Penn State opening conference play away in 2023
James Franklin has had to start conference play on the road a lot during his tenure. It sounds like he’s getting tired of it.
Penn State will have to do it again in 2023.
Franklin brought up how AD Pat Kraft felt about the news, and stated that he didn’t want to discuss it at the time. Kraft was on record talking about how disappointed he was that Penn State is starting B1G play on the road for the eighth-straight season.
Franklin referenced how he could give another long pause like he did after being asked about Sean Clifford at his weekly press conference.
“I’d prefer to talk about it later,” said Franklin. “Pat’s already addressed it. I could bring it up again and add another dramatic pause.”

Penn State starts conference play at Illinois in Week 3 of the 2023 season. This season, the Nittany Lions faced Purdue on the road in their first game of the year.
There are few things guaranteed in life. Death, taxes, and Penn State football starting B1G play on the road.
