James Franklin understands the opportunity ahead of Penn State in 2024 with a 12-team College Football Playoff.
Penn State head coach James Franklin addresses the media during a press conference on National Signing Day Dec. 20, 2023. Joe Hermitt | [email protected] Franklin understands that this year is a little different.
But 2024 presents a new and welcome opportunity for Franklin’s program: it’s the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Nittany Lions would have made a 12-team CFP under its new format in six of the last eight seasons. Many are familiar with that fact. “For us, we have to play our best when our best is needed most, in the biggest games and in the biggest moments. When you look at us, specifically last year, we did some phenomenal things. But that’s the step we need to take.”
“That’s been the big question mark really since last year,” Franklin said of his wideouts. “We’ve got a ton of confidence in those guys. They have a huge chip on their shoulder. They’ve had a great summer. We’ve got a ton of confidence. But we’re going to have to play well early and build confidence and carry that confidence throughout the season.”
