All was going well for Penn State at halftime of the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. The Nittany Lions were up 28-14 on Washington. James Franklin should have been pretty happy. But there was one thing that was bothering him.
After a touchdown pass to put Penn State up 7-0 in the first quarter, quarterback Trace McSorley gave Franklin a nudge to the midsection. Apparently it left a little more than just a mark.

If there’s anything that can make Franklin feel a little better, it’s the sweet taste of victory. That can take the pain away.
