But then we didn't back it up with a Wednesday practice that was right. We're starting to kind of really figure out how to practice at a really high level on a consistent basis. And whether it's football or any other industry or sport, being really successful is about consistency," Franklin said afterward. He also made a statement to start his press conference about inaccurate reporting by national outlets, which we'll discuss on the show. Franklin also fanned the desires of some fans to see right tackle Caedan Wallace move from right tackle, paving the way for redshirt freshman Drew Shelton to take his place. Penn State's head coach mentioned that Wallace has gotten work at guard this year. "It's just flexibility. Obviously, when we lost Landon, that changed some things for us. I think Caedan is the guy that has the feet and athleticism to play tackle, but he's also got the size and the power to play guard. He's 330 pounds or somewhere around there. So he just creates flexibility. That's good for us, and I think it's gonna be good for him long term as well." Game predictions and Mailbag Finally, we'll preview the game and give score predictions.
