Watch what Penn State head coach James Franklin said about Ohio State prior to the game Saturday

Penn State head coach James Franklin previewed Ohio State in his weekly press conference with the media on Tuesday. Here’s what he said.

Ohio State is preparing for potentially the best team it will face in 2020. Even though Penn State found a way to give the game away against Indiana last weekend, the Nittany Lions are still closest in talent to Ohio State than any other team in the Big Ten. And … we don’t have to tell you the white knucklers these two teams have played the past few years.
