James Franklin's seat is starting to get hot after a Week 5 loss to Oregon and a slow start against UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Week 6.
In Week 5, James Franklin did what he always does. He lost the big game. It took two overtimes, but No. 6 Oregon eventually prevailed in front of a White Out crowd at Beaver Stadium. The loss dropped Franklin’s record against AP Top 10 opponents to 4-21 across his 12 seasons at Penn State, and for some Nittany Lion fans, it felt like the final straw.
