“As you can imagine, it was great in there,” Penn State coach James Franklin said of the locker room after the Nittany Lions’ win. “For me, that’s what it’s all about. At this point in my career I just want to see the players achieve their dreams, have fun and be rewarded for all their hard work. The same applies to the staff. That’s what it’s all about.” I want them to achieve their dreams and goals. It’s going to be a great week for us. We will be able to learn from this game and we must learn from this game because we are far from perfect. We’re 6-0 and 1-0 this week too, and we’re going to get there and run.”
