ALTOONA, Pa. -- James Franklin really never should have said it. He got caught up in the moment after an emotional loss, and deep down inside, you gotta think he regrets saying it.
Franklin never should have said it because it was a promise that would be incredibly difficult to keep, and yet he would be judged by that promise every step of the way until, you know, he actually fulfills it.
Four years later, where is Penn State and Franklin with regards to fulfilling that promise? That's where we start this edition of the midweek top 10, with another showdown against Ohio State coming up Saturday.
