Franklin Reflects on Penn State Tenure | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

James Franklin admits he may have stayed too long at Penn State, regretting not leaving for bigger opportunities like USC or LSU, despite being close to achieving greatness. Meanwhile, Beaver Stadium’s renovation is on track thanks to a $5 million donation from the Poole family, pushing total funds past $135 million. Franklin’s candid reflection contrasts with Virginia Tech’s praise of him, hinting at a complex legacy. ESPN projects Penn State to win nine games with a 22% chance at the College Football Playoff, buoyed by an easier schedule and a roster full of new starters. Recruiting remains uneven, including a missed shot at a top local receiver, while basketball sees a legal win for a former player and an upcoming showdown with Pitt in Philly.
