Early line for The Game revealed
As Penn State head coach James Franklin explained to On3’s J.D. PicKell on The Hard Count last week, the program is “full steam ahead” as the summer is underway.
“Right now, our coaches are on the road recruiting and doing a hell of a job flying all over the country. We’re back here doing our game breakdowns for our first four opponents. And our players have started summer school. They started summer school on Monday. So, they’re here doing workouts and getting some of the freshmen that were able to show up kind of adjusted to how we operate around here,” Franklin said. “So we’re kind of full steam ahead and excited about this year and what the season could bring.”
