We are…Penn State. But we can’t beat a Top Ten under James Franklin. Penn State lost to No. 9 Michigan, 21-17 as Erick All caught a 49-yard TD pass from Cade McNamara with 3:29 left to give the Wolverines the go-ahead core. Michigan (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) remains in the hunt for a Big Ten championship. Penn State (6-4, 3-4 Big Ten) seems headed to either the Outback Bowl or Las Vegas Bowl.
During Franklin’s eight-year tenure as head coach, the Nittany Lions are 2-11 against Top Ten opponents. Penn State finishes the regular season on Nov. 27 against currently-ranked No. 7 Michigan State (9-1).
The Nittany Lions play their last home game of the 2021 season at Happy Valley on Nov. 20 at noon against Rutgers (5-5, 2-5 Big Ten).
