What would 10-2 do for Penn State, even without a signature win?
Tight end Tyler Warren celebrates his touchdown during Penn State's win over Minnesota.ALTOONA, Pa. -- What would be the value of a 10-2 season for Penn State and James Franklin? That's easy, right? A 10-2 season would be fantastic.
Yes, of course. No program should ever take a 10-win season for granted.
But what if it would come with this asterisk: The Nittany Lions would not have a single victory over a top 25 team.
It would be the ultimate example of winning the games you're supposed to win, and losing the games you're supposed to lose. You know, pretty much par for the course for most of Franklin's tenure.
