Franklin on 97.5 The Fanatic now

[LionFan96]

Asked about the OSU game and the bad call on the INT, and Franklin points out that they also got screwed (my word) on the FG that was allowed 4 seconds after the play clock expired. Love it.

Franklin talked about how when he arrived there wasn't one top 10 PA player on Penn State's roster. Last year we got 7 of the top 10, and we only offered 1 of the others in the top 10.

Asked about Hackenberg. Responded he was with the Packers when they had Favre, was there when they drafted Rogers. Thinks last year is going to really help him. Noted WRs were freshman last year, returning 4 starters on oline. Thinks he can be 10th coach for PSU this season.

Hackenberg sees himself as a Tom Brady type QB in terms of play, which Franklin thinks is great. Says Hack has to be willing to go through his progression, take the checkdown, and if not there then go get 2 or 3 yards. As a QB just has to keep positive plays going. That's the next step for Hackenberg.

Also noted 45 scholarship players to 85, was like picking on the schoolyard and the other teams gets to pick 2 players and you only get to pick 1.

Talked about doing a show with 97.5 at PSU training camp - going to set that up.

I, and I'm certain a lot of others, really appreciate you bringing this information to the masses - and it's football.

Thank you for the updates and I'm glad that Coach is speaking his mind.

Philly stations actually acknowledging there is a college football team in the state of Pennsylvania ???

That was a cool interview. Nice that Gargano was so welcoming....by the way, notice how much more human the Temple guy is vs. those from Pitt?

That goes without saying.
