'We played bad football,' West Virginia coach Neal Brown said after the Mountaineers' loss to Penn State. Nittany Lions coach James Franklin was in a better mood.
Penn State coach James Franklin stood in a cramped meeting room late Saturday afternoon at West Virginia and sought to temper overreaction to his team's 34-12 victory. Meanwhile, Mountaineers coach Neal Brown accepted responsibility for a team that he said "played bad football."First of all, give West Virginia and the Mountaineers a ton of credit. It was a great atmosphere.
That’s not a critique on West Virginia, it’s like that everywhere when they all of their facilities to be able to use. So there’s some real challenges that come with that. I think you guys saw what we created out here in the tunnel some more space. I thought that was helpful as well, and then we just had plenty of food. We knew that this was a possibility, and we were able to get ahead of it from that standpoint.We call him Lamar Allar.
Obviously, as you guys know, Beau is going to have a big part of the game plan. That was a big part of our thought, was starting with a two-point play. Getting him involved as early as possible in the game. Plus we had a play that we liked that obviously didn’t pan out that way, but Beau is going to be a big part of what we’re doing going forward, so we wanted to get him involved as early as possible.First of all, I'll credit Penn State. good team. James does a really good job there.
