James Franklin falls short against Ohio State once more, missing his best opportunity in years

Penn State suffered a heartbreaking loss to Ohio State in Week 10, extending their losing streak against the Buckeyes. Despite a strong defensive performance, holding Ohio State to minimal yardage and forcing turnovers, Penn State’s offense could not deliver. Quarterback Drew Allar struggled, and the team failed to capitalize on opportunities in the red zone. New offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki’s play calling left much to be desired, as the offense only managed to score three points after taking an early lead. The record sellout crowd at Beaver Stadium was left disappointed as Penn State fell short once again against their rivals. Head coach James Franklin’s record against Ohio State now stands at 1-10, raising questions about the team’s ability to compete at a high level. Despite an injured Ohio State team and a 10-point lead, Penn State could not secure the victory. The loss raises concerns about the team’s offensive performance and their ability to win against top-tier opponents. As the Nittany Lions look ahead to the rest of the season, they will need to address their offensive shortcomings if they hope to compete for the Big Ten title.
