I found the following quote from Franklin to be interesting....
"But when you’re able to run the ball like that on offense and stop the run on defense, you know good things are going to happen for you. I don’t want to lose any doubt about that. And for running as often as we did, when you look at Kaytron Allen averaged 5.7 yards per carry, Nick Singleton, 5.9 yards per carry, Beau Pribula, 5.7 yards per carry. You’re stupid to get away from it right? So, Andy [Kotelnicki] was doing a great job calling the game, as you guys know, I’ll mix in every once in a while, just reminding him to stick with the run or time to take a shot. I’m down there, I’m on the sideline".
I think I now know when Franklin interjects himself into the offensive play calling. PSU is successfully matriculating the ball downfield and then there are suddenly 2-3 WTF calls made in a row.
