James Franklin said, once more this week, that Penn State needs to get bigger.
He was talking about his defensive line, in particular, but all of his linemen, in general.
That was a postgame message following the Nittany Lions' crushing defeat at Michigan. He was asked to expound upon it Tuesday during his weekly press conference.
The Lions now prepare to face another run-heavy opponent Saturday in Minnesota. One with more dominating blockers and plow-driving tailbacks.
"Size is a tool and size is a weapon," Franklin said.
He went on to analyze Michigan with star nose tackle Mazi Smith (337 pounds) and edge rusher Mike Morris (292 pounds) without mentioning names.
