Penn State
Apparently the Duck loss broke Franklin. He was visibly shaken and lost on the field after the Duck game, just standing there staring around for minutes after the postgame handshake. Then, after the loss to UCLA, same exact thing. Now that the playoff is a significant reach, he has seemingly lost his locker room. He blames travel in part for the loss, which is rich coming from a guy who plays the majority of his games in that region while the West Coast teams do not complain.
Between him and Sark, I am wondering who is having the worst season?

Yep, he let Oregon beat him twice. Fans not happy, but his buyout prevents him being fired.

Re: Penn State
Losing another big game at home wasn't a good look. Losing to winless UCLA is unfattenable. Everyone must have thought they could just sleepwalk through that game.
Franklin was saying before the Ducks that he had the best team he'd ever had. It's really a bad look now and the traveling is a really lame excuse. It seems like it's going to be tough sledding to get the locker room back and turn things around.
