Penn State entered the year with national title expectations, but the Nittany Lions are 0-3 in Big Ten play and James Franklin is spiraling.
James Franklin has lost his team. The evidence is indisputable. The Nittany Lions entered the season as the No. 2 team in the country, with as much returning talent and experience as any team in the country. Yet, through seven weeks, Penn State still does not have a win over a Power 4 opponent.
The Nittany Lions are now 3-3 after a 22-21 loss to Northwestern at Beaver Stadium in Week 7, and 0-3 in Big Ten play.
