Penn State had another woeful performance against a top team on Saturday.

James Franklin’s offense couldn’t move the ball on the ground or through the air and dropped to 8-2 overall in a 24-15 loss to Michigan. 

With the loss, Franklin is now 3-17 overall against AP Top 10 teams and is now 1-12 against top five teams in the country.

“Why go for 2 there? Now you need two scores. Kick and you only need to get the ball back and score once and then get the conversion. James Franklin must not understand math,” another tweet read.

Franklin will have to shake off this loss pretty quickly since Penn State has a sound Rutgers team coming to Happy Valley next Saturday. Kickoff will be at Noon ET.
