So on the other side, of course, we gave you all the Franklin stuff foreign 20 versus top 10 opponents
00:05
It's even worse against top 5 and you know what? I don't care frankly, you know, Franklin
00:09
I had enough of him the last few days that day before press conference worries, you know talking to free me
00:15
Oh, how old are you?
00:16
Look at his hairline and you should be in a conference and you should do all this Freeman was all business time
00:22
So you get what you get James Franklin here. He is. They just came up short
00:26
I think in in games like this at this point of the season
00:31
You lose everybody wants to pick out a specific play
00:35
there's probably eight to twelve plays in that game that
00:40
If if we could have found a way to make a few more plays that close, right? It's a game inches
00:48
so I'm not gonna you know call out or talk about specific plays or specific players because
00:56
There's a there's a ton of plays that we're gonna look back on it from them game that from that game that we could have
01:01
Did better and that we should have did better and that we could have called better
01:06
So it's it's all of it, but it starts with giving Notre Dame credit. That's a good football team
01:12
Let's just face facts. You can say whatever you want about him
01:16
It's so easy to hit this guy because he never wins these big games. I'll tell you what though
01:23
Penn State football is a powerhouse and every year it's the same thing. They're gonna be good every year
01:31
They are gonna be loaded every year. They're gonna have talent every year and they are well coached and
01:37
They came this close and you know as the as they always say somebody's got to lose you lose
01:43
Look, I love getting on Franklin as well
01:46
But you know
01:47
This is it's kind of like the thing we did with with Brian Kelly Notre Dame like if he were to leave
01:53
Who would do a better job than him? He wins 1011 games every single year
01:58
You know now with this playoff being 12 teams instead of four more years than not. He's gonna be in it every year
02:05
I think his biggest problem that since he's been there is that and I know people love this Aller
02:11
Whatever. He hasn't found the quarterback that can win him
02:16
The whole thing and win these big games and I think that that's what holds Franklin back. He's had great defenses
02:22
He's had great running games
02:23
He hasn't had the quarterback to go along with it and you look at all these guys that have come through that door
02:29
Aller and Clifford and
02:31
Hackenbar all right. No, those guys are not NFL quarterbacks. Okay, there's not I don't think this guy Aller is either
02:38
I don't think he is either Mike. I don't he was a high school star
02:42
He was the best high school quarterback in the country, but he's never been great in college and all this talk about
02:50
He's gonna be a first-round pick and he's gonna make tons of money
02:54
Be careful what you wish for. I don't I don't think that's happening. I don't see a superstar quarterback in him at all
03:00
I see a guy that makes lots of mistakes. I
03:03
Do too and he better go back to school. I know there was like he better go back now
03:07
I know there was all that talk off day when he might come out he better
03:10
He's got more money to grooming
