Penn State Nittany Lions coach James Franklin discussed the Ohio State Buckeyes series, his quarterback situation and weathering injuries this season.
Penn State coach James Franklin was pretty relaxed Monday at his weekly press conference, where he previewed the exclamation-point date on the Nittany Lions' schedule. No. 3 Penn State hosts No. 4 Ohio State for the, but Franklin didn't sound stressed. He spoke openly about quarterback Drew Allar's status, raved about backup quarterback Beau Pribula and told an interesting story about offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.
You look at them statistically, they're playing really good football pretty much across the board. Offensively Chip Kelly there, I think Chip has a reputation of a guy with a spread background, throwing the ball around. I get that. But if you really study Chip, he's always had portal is playing very well. Cornerback Denzel Burke, then obviously two defensive ends that are challenging in Jack Sawyer as well as JT Tuimoloau. ... Both of those defensive ends are playing extremely well. Got a ton of respect for what they do and how they do it.I think he's played enough football for us that that timeline will go all the way up to the game really.
What's nice about us, and it was a big reason in bringing Andy here, is we do enough things and we have enough diversity within our playbook that we are able to focus on the strengths of the players that are in there. That's all I really did Saturday, was just remind Andy of that. This was a little bit of a problem in the past in practice and in games, that you really should strategically call the game differently now with Beau in the game. Just reminding Andy of that.
