very disappointing...almost any time where Franklin faces a team with some real talent or has to play in a semi-tough road environment his team too often underperforms...his teams usually have good half-time adjustments but i fear the coach across the field is just better

This result should surprise no one. It’s a classic James Franklin performance in a big game on the road.

He will soon be 0-4 on the road with a top 5 ranking. And today isn’t particularly close.

This program is what it is (today) until a fresh leadership perspective is brought in 5-6 years from now.

Riley is absolutely a better coach with better skill talent. That’s a double whammy for a Franklin team.

Not only did they run wild, they were literally incapable of passing.

They had a totally 1 dimensional offense, and they still won.
Lol. You guys are crazy. Duke hired him to lead their team, Indiana fired our current guy but we knew better.

I still can’t over the fact we didn’t do the tush push at the goal on the first series. Just f’ing run it.

Fleming can return kicks (I guess). Maybe Allar needs to throw it end over end to him.

Maybe they find a way back, but this is exactly what you don’t want. OSU game is a long shot to win. The rest of the teams on the schedule are not exactly a bunch of blue bloods. Can’t be 10-2 with losses to the only two teams with pedigree and a pulse. Although now I will get to hear some on here talk about the alleged glory of some worthless end of the year bowl game win against Texas Tech.

Many of the “bad coordinators” went on to become head coaches.
Some were better than others. But to suggest that they all stunk, particularly Diaz, is crazy. Franklin is the only constant amongst all of them.
