00:00
All right, so James Franklin, he basically put his doubters to rest, I think, no matter
00:08
what happens the rest of the season.
00:10
A very convincing win in their college football playoff game, a game, again, that wasn't close
00:15
at all, and they move on to the next round, too.
00:19
What did you make of their first game?
00:20
Well, they take care of business when they're a favorite.
00:22
We should know this by now.
00:23
For all the narratives about James Franklin in the big game, 33-1 straight up.
00:29
As a favorite the last three years, the only loss was the Peach Bowl, where guys were missing
00:34
on both sides.
00:35
24-9-1 against the spread as a favorite in the last three years, and as long as it's
00:40
not Ohio State or Michigan, they're probably going to win the game, and they've done that,
00:45
and I think that creates an interesting narrative for their next game, where Boise State will
00:49
wear the Cinderella hat in blue, and if Ashton Jante can't get going, Penn State could dominate
00:57
this game, too.
00:58
They're 7-0 all time at the Fiesta Bowl.
01:00
They have a history in that game, as well, and that defense was pretty dominant, and
01:04
if you're getting six yards per carry out of Nick Singleton and Katron Allen, they're
01:08
going to roar into the semifinals, no doubt.
