Penn State coach James Franklin says the Nittany Lions have discussed preparing to play a 17-game season in 2024.
Penn State coach James Franklin took the podium at Big Ten Football Media Days on Wednesday and told it like it is. The Nittany Lions have been oh, so close to the elite threshold of college football for nearly a decade, missing the mark the last two seasons by just two games. With an expanded 12-team College Football Playoff in 2024, there are no more excuses for Franklin and the Nittany Lions. The moment is now.
Franklin hasn’t beaten the Buckeye since. Meanwhile, Michigan jumped both programs to claim a national championship last season. As the College Football Playoff expands this season, qualifying isn’t Penn State’s only goal. While Franklin has built his philosophy around a “1-0 mentality,” the coach and the Nittany Lions also have looked ahead.
