Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everybody? LaVar Arrington here coming to you with
another exciting edition of Quite Franklin with coach James Franklin
and myself, LeVar Arrington. We're gonna discuss last week's game
against the Mountaineers, but we're gonna move quickly into what's
coming next. So one and no mentality. All right, They
got out of West Virginia with a dub. They got
(00:20):
Bowling Green coming up this weekend. What do they need
to do? What do they need to focus on? Me
and Coach Franklin, we talked about all that. Make sure
you check us out right now here we go, start
your engines. The score thirty four to twelve in the
(00:42):
opening game. This was a This was a serious Week
one opponent, so serious in fact, coach that watching one
of the college game show of college talk shows, there
were multiple experts it's picking against Penn State in this game.
(01:04):
What was what was the feeling going into this game
and what's the feeling for you as a coach coming
out of this game?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, I just think whenever you're able to play this
type of opponent on the road, in that type of environment,
we probably have more questions answered at this stage of
the year than the majority of college football teams. You know,
we played a real opponent in a real environment, and
to your point, you know, some people some people you know,
(01:36):
we're you know, we're thinking that we were going to
have issues and challenges in that environment. So not only
to win, but win in a convincing manner and really
for the most part, play pretty well in all three phases.
Obviously there's a ton of stuff we still got to
get cleaned up. But I just think more than anything,
I think we know more about our team than the
majority of college football teams right now.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
That was not only a quality opponent coach, but that
was Brady. I do a radio show with Brady Quinn
and he said it was one of the most maybe
the most outrageous game day experience that he's had in
quite some time. It sounded like it was crazy in Morgantown,
(02:19):
and for no other reason than the excitement of what
they felt this team would be. Having the opportunity to
go on the road in week one and winning that
type of a hostile environment where all systems are go.
How does that lead into a week like this where
(02:40):
you're coming home it's the home opener it's against Bowling Green,
probably a team that very many don't know much about
other than knowing it's the name Bowling Green. Is what
is the conversation coming out of winning in such a
hostile environment against a quality of it and now having
(03:01):
to refocus on that one and no mentality coming up
this weekend against Bowling Green.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, I think the first thing I would say is
to your comment about the environment, I think, you know,
obviously you've got to give West Virginia a ton of credit,
but I think it's just as much credit to Penn
State and our fan base. I mean, our fan base
and the type of support that we get all over
(03:27):
the country is second to none. And I you know,
I remember we played at pitt It was the largest
sporting event in the history of Hinesfield, you know, So
you know, that's just that's kind of how we operate.
That's the type of support that we get. You know,
we have a fanatical fan base that's passionate about our
team and our players and our school. So I think
(03:49):
that's that's a big part of that. But you know,
when it comes to Bowling Green, you know, we're back
home in our stadium and we take a ton of
pride in that and defending Beaver Stadium. But I think
one of the things that helps in getting our team's
attention and hopefully the fans attention, is this team has
two power for wins on the road. Last year, I
(04:12):
think they went to Georgia Tech and one we just
saw Georgia Tech had a big win, you know, last week,
and then the year before that they went to Minnesota
and beat Minnesota. So you know, this is a team
that's they've been in this situation before and have prospered.
So you know we're gonna have to be ready.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We talk about.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Respecting all and fearing none, and you know, if our
process is right and our approaches right, it shouldn't really
change based on who we play. It's ultimately about us.
Obviously we have to have great respect and understanding and
who we're playing and study film and what to anticipate
from a scheme standpoint, but ultimately it's about.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Us coming out of this game. One. Going in the
game too, everybody was making a fuss about going downfield.
Everybody is talking about, oh here look at the shots downfield.
Look at Drew Eyler. He looks amazing, Which the stiff
arm heard around America was amazing. Did you like what
(05:16):
you saw? Three new coordinators? You know, so it's kind
of like you're looking at what is the performance of
my offense, What is the performance of my defense? What
is the performance of my special teams? Two out of
the three phases they say win you a game, two
out of three phases they say will lose you the game.
What was your take? Did you like what you saw
(05:39):
out of Drew Eler? Did you like what you saw
out of the receiving core that's been under question. Did
you like what you saw the offense? Did you like
what you saw out of the defense? Did you like
what you saw special teams? Heading into Bowling Green? What
is your feeling in terms of what you've seen with
the new coordinators and everything going on?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Well, I thought the coordinators did really well. Was very
very impressed and pleased with them. I think, you know,
to your stiff arm comment, I thought that play was significant.
You know, it shows the you know, the work that
he has put in. We had the best strength staff
in the country that showed up there. But I think
more than that, it was a big time play against
(06:21):
a legitimate defender on our sideline in front of all
of his teammates. Uh. And then not only that, he
got up and and you know, was letting him know
about it. And that's probably a sign that a lot
of people haven't seen from Drew. So I thought that
was an important play. I really do. I'm not trying
(06:42):
to make it out to be bigger than what it was,
but I do think that was an important play. Offensively,
I thought we played really well, and I was happy
for our passing game and specifically the wide receivers because
those guys have taken a lot of heat and they
put in a ton of work since the end of
last year to take to make strides, and that's work
(07:05):
on their own, that's work with Drew. So I was
very happy about that. But I will say this, I
think we did. We put up some pretty good numbers
last year offensively against West Virginia, but I do think
it's different doing it on the road in that type
of environment. You Know. The thing I think you'll like is,
in my opinion, nobody's talking about our defense enough. Last year.
(07:27):
Our defense struggled with West Virginia stopping the run. You know,
the quarterback gave us some headaches, and we played better
on defense in almost every statistical category, and a team
that again finished a season really hot, specifically on the
(07:48):
offensive side of the ball. And I think it was
also very telling about their head coach and their team
what they thought about their offense. Is when they won
the opening coin toss, we chose to take the ball
and said that we're going to go down and score.
So I think that's that's telling, all right. So I
(08:09):
thought our defense played extremely well, and I thought we
played well in special teams. We got to kick better,
we didn't kick off well, we didn't pun as well
as we typically did, and then we lost. You know,
we missed a field goal. I'd prefer not to kick
such a long field goal for the first field goal
of the year. But I was pleased with how we
played on special teams. We played very very physical.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Let me let me ask you this because it's interesting
statistically saying the defense doing well. What what stood out like?
The speed stood out to me, like like the secondary speed,
like our safeties. That's that's crazy, that's cheat code. But
I just felt like the overall team speed and and
(08:52):
really one thing that I really like is is seeing
big Zay and and and Devon and those guys are
are and terrier guys. They were actually pushing that line
of scrimmage, pushing it back. I mean they were establishing
a line of scrimmage and our dns, you know, goes
what I was saying, you know, denying and obviously sticks.
(09:15):
It just looked like it was a complete defensive effort.
I still saw things they could have done better. I
definitely saw things that which is kind of to me
very scary that if they can tighten up this little
nuance here, that little nuance there, or you know, certain things,
they could be scary, scary good. How good do you
(09:36):
think this defense can be?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Well, it's funny because kJ Winston gets Beeneric National Defensive
Player of the Year. I mean, excuse me about the week,
which is awesome, and you know how I feel about kJ.
But I would also say I thought Jay Reid was
playing at a different speed and everybody on the field.
I think we got the two best safeties in college football,
or at least were part of that argument. And I'm
(10:02):
with you. I think defensively, I thought we played well,
but I think we can play a lot better, especially
when you talk about the pre snap discipline penalties and
the post snap penalties. We've got to get those cleaned
up because without giving them those yards, we destroy them defensively.
And you know, I think, as you know, as a
(10:23):
defensive end, as a defensive lineman, get off is really important.
But it can't be at the expense of the defense
and our team's success. So you know, we'll get those
things cleaned up, and we addressed them on Sunday for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
The fourth down I thought that was. There were two
and I thought it was. You know, we talked about
figuring out and defining a personality for the team, identity
for the team. If I'm saying right now coming out
of game one, drew allers stiff arm and that fourth
(10:59):
down stop and not the fourth down stop that we got,
the fourth down stop that they didn't give. We took
that fourth down they stopped them. Now the spot was
the spot. You don't have to criticize or anything like that.
I got. You know, I do this for a living.
I actually get paid the breakdown and be an analyst
over games. So I put my hat on here and there.
(11:20):
It was not a first down. I could tell by
the demeanor of the defense that them getting that first
down might have been more of a defining moment than
them stopping them, because I saw a level of disgust
and let's get it. After that took place, they put
(11:45):
up what they managed to get six points in the
first half, they managed to get six points in the
second half. That's dominance. How Like in terms of identity,
do you feel this is a pretty I don't know,
it's a pretty mature, dominant type team. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I think we're getting there. And I think it's telling
right because a lot of times when a call goes
against you like that in the game, the guys getting
their feelings and go in the tank for a few
players or for a series. And we didn't show that.
We showed maturity. Just like having a delay in a
visiting locker room. And that's no knock on West Virginia,
but visiting locker rooms across the country are awful.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
They're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, So to be stuck in a visiting locker room
for that type of delay and then come out and
get a three at well, first of all, score on
offense and then get a three and out on defense.
So to start fast after all that, I thought the
touchdown by the offense right before the half was deflating.
It was deflating for their team, their coaches, for the stadium.
(12:52):
So I think scoring right before the half and then
coming out and scoring and getting a three and out,
that's where we really took over the game in that
middle eight period.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It was nice to see our backs get get going.
I mean, Nick looked great running the ball, kron k tron,
He softens the belly and he delivered a big play
in the passing game heading into the and we'll end
with this one heading into the bowling Green game. Being
as we mentioned the home opener, what do you want
to get accomplished? Coach, Like, what is what's the most
(13:22):
important aspect of this week in development?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Well, I think it goes back to your maturity comment. Right,
can we show that ultimately it's about us and not
the opponent ranked, you know, not ranked top ten opponent,
playing on the road, playing at home, it doesn't matter. Ultimately,
it's about us and playing up to our standard weekend
and week out. I think that's that's the most important thing.
(13:49):
And then I think we have to get better. I
like where we were in week one and if we
can just find a way to get better on offense, defense,
special teams, and collectively each week. Then I think we're
gonna like where we're at come the end of the season.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Coach, good luck, I'll be there. I'm gonna see you.
I'll see you there. And you need any help, you
need any backup, I'm gonna bring a LeVar to the
good that's an inside that's an inside Joe, that's an
inside joke. Hey, listen, good luck to you, coach, wishing
you guys. Well. Everybody's healthy, right, we're healthy. We're good
(14:25):
to go.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We're actually healthier this week than we were last week.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
