Penn State fires James Franklin plus we recap Big Ten week 7 games and preview week 8

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods try to make sense of the unprecedented fall from grace for the Penn State Nittany Lions, who three weeks ago was a play away from taking down Oregon to now firing head coach James Franklin after inexplicable losses to UCLA and Northwestern. The guys give their takes on the regime change and discuss where PSU goes from here. From week seven the Big Ten had some exciting games including Indiana smashing Oregon in Eugene, USC outmuscling Michigan, Ohio State throttling Illinois and UCLA smoking Michigan State. Looking ahead to week eight the last scheduled USC vs. Notre Dame game is in South Bend, Washington travels to Michigan and Penn State will try to get right at Iowa. The guys also welcome in special guest Chris Gorham, starring in CBS's new drama "Sheriff Country" (and a huge UCLA fan). As always, they wrap up the podcast by answering listener email and live chat questions.
