Penn State takes care of business against lowly Maryland
Despite winning the game against Maryland, the main focus for most fans and media is the upcoming opportunity to play in the Big Ten Championship Game. Our reporters discuss that situation and how it unfolded throughout the day. Franklin was asked how he handled that news before the game.
“We knew, but I didn’t say anything to the team. Actually, I did the opposite. I said, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland, Maryland. Because I think a lot of people were aware of it. I was trying to keep us focused,” Franklin said
