Daily Mail  

Penn State head coach James Franklin should be used to losing against top teams at this point, but he was particularly upset with what one fan had to say after yet another demoralizing loss. Since taking over the Nittany Lions in 2014, Franklin has gone 1-7 against top-ten teams at home, 6-10 against ranked teams at home, 1-9 against top-five teams, and 1-10 against hated rivals Ohio State. After taking a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, Penn State gave up 17 unanswered points and eventually fell 20-13 to Ohio State.
