00:00So on the other side, of course, we gave you all the Franklin stuff foreign 20 versus top 10 opponents

00:05It's even worse against top 5 and you know what? I don't care frankly, you know, Franklin

00:09I had enough of him the last few days that day before press conference worries, you know talking to free me

00:15Oh, how old are you?

00:16Look at his hairline and you should be in a conference and you should do all this Freeman was all business time

00:22So you get what you get James Franklin here. He is. They just came up short

00:26I think in in games like this at this point of the season

00:31You lose everybody wants to pick out a specific play

00:35there's probably eight to twelve plays in that game that

00:40If if we could have found a way to make a few more plays that close, right? It's a game inches

00:48so I'm not gonna you know call out or talk about specific plays or specific players because

00:56There'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

01:01Did better and that we should have did better and that we could have called better

01:06So it's it's all of it, but it starts with giving Notre Dame credit. That's a good football team

01:12Let's just face facts. You can say whatever you want about him

01:16It's so easy to hit this guy because he never wins these big games. I'll tell you what though

01:23Penn State football is a powerhouse and every year it's the same thing. They're gonna be good every year

01:31They are gonna be loaded every year. They're gonna have talent every year and they are well coached and

01:37They came this close and you know as the as they always say somebody's got to lose you lose

01:43Look, I love getting on Franklin as well

01:46But you know

01:47This is it's kind of like the thing we did with with Brian Kelly Notre Dame like if he were to leave

01:53Who would do a better job than him? He wins 1011 games every single year

01:58You know now with this playoff being 12 teams instead of four more years than not. He's gonna be in it every year

02:05I think his biggest problem that since he's been there is that and I know people love this Aller

02:11Whatever. He hasn't found the quarterback that can win him

02:16The whole thing and win these big games and I think that that's what holds Franklin back. He's had great defenses

02:22He's had great running games

02:23He hasn't had the quarterback to go along with it and you look at all these guys that have come through that door

02:29Aller and Clifford and

02:31Hackenbar all right. No, those guys are not NFL quarterbacks. Okay, there's not I don't think this guy Aller is either

02:38I don't think he is either Mike. I don't he was a high school star

02:42He was the best high school quarterback in the country, but he's never been great in college and all this talk about

02:50He's gonna be a first-round pick and he's gonna make tons of money

02:54Be 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

03:00I see a guy that makes lots of mistakes. I

03:03Do too and he better go back to school. I know there was like he better go back now

03:07I know there was all that talk off day when he might come out he better

03:10He's got more money to grooming
