Penn State lands in Arizona

Penn State arrived at the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday evening to begin the weekend festivities. However, head coach James Franklin made it very clear that his is not a vacation for his players.

“We’re really not approaching this like a bowl game. This is a playoff game, and I wanted to make sure that our players understood the differences. We’re not coming out here for a week, and enjoying the community for a couple of days, and then getting into work. This is a business trip. I want to make sure our guys understand that. It’s really been good so far,” Franklin said.

We’ll discuss the other aspects of the initial wave of quotes and notes that have come from the trip so far. Fitz will also discuss the odds and ends from the recruiting front since our last show on Friday.
