STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- After the latest loss to a Top 10 opponent, Nittany Lions coach James Franklin said he understands the growing frustration of the Penn State fan base.

The third-ranked Nittany Lions fell 30-24 in double overtime to No. 6 Oregon on Saturday night before a "White Out" crowd at Beaver Stadium.

The defeat dropped Franklin to 4-21 at Penn State against Associated Press top 10 opponents, including 1-18 against top 10 Big Ten top teams.

"I get that narrative and it's really not a narrative -- it's factual. It's the facts," Franklin said.
