The game is clearly a payback for Georgia State coaches allowing Franklin to participate in their camp a few years ago. Franklin was trying to expand the PSU recruiting footprint at the time and Georgia State will get a big check in return for the game.
That said, games like these are not helpful in the big picture IMO. No offense to Georgia State but the teams are on 2 separate levels in terms of talent. If PSU wins- it's 'so what' from the media and questioning of how overrated PSU is if they don't win 65- 0.
