Penn State football coach James Franklin reflects on the very historic senior class, being one of the most successful during the press conference for the Citrus Bowl on Monday Dec. 31, 2018.
ORLANDO, FLA.
James Franklin has four quarters — and maybe an overtime period or two — left with a cluster of upperclassmen who, in more ways than one, propelled Penn State back to national prominence. And while the coach doesn’t want the end to come, he has acknowledged that the time is here.
Tuesday’s Citrus Bowl is the senior class’ final game. It’s a chance for the Nittany Lions to earn their third consecutive 10-win season, which would be a first for the Nittany Lions in their Big Ten tenure.
