PENN STATE: Ten Wins Not Enough for James Franklin in 2024

Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Penn State football coach James Franklin won a lot of games in his first 10 years in Happy Valley. As we head into the 2024 season his expectation is to make the expanded college football playoffs.

Under Franklin the Nittany Lions seem to beat everybody on their schedule but Michigan and Ohio State and finish the regular season 10-2. Most schools would take 10-2 records, but that outcome always means Penn State had a great year but then watches Michigan or Ohio State grab the Big Ten title and continue to the college football playoffs while the Nittany Lions go play in a respectable bowl game and call it a day until next season.

PENN STATE, WE ARE… MORE!

Penn State football fans want more than that. And here is the good news. Michigan is not on the schedule this year and an additional 8 teams make the college football playoffs from now on. This bodes very well for Penn State football. We Are!

OHIO STATE SECRET TALENT

Meanwhile at Ohio State it is no secret that they have very talented players on a deep roster. So talented, in fact, that one of their star safeties may get a few carries at running back despite being loaded at running back! We will explain.

HAWKEYES TITLE?

Plus we will tell you which college football broadcaster said to watch out for the Iowa Hawkeyes football team this year. For the record, we like them too. And Curt Cignetti continues to change the culture of Indiana football and we will tell you what he is up to.

NON-QB HEISMAN

Finally we send you into the weekend with our PigSkin Picks segment. Today we look at non-quarterback odds of winning the Heisman Trophy this season. It is all right here at your finger tips on Locked on Big 10 with Craig Shemon.
