Tensions are high, and the cacophony of noise surrounding the program is at an all-time high. Yesterday, Penn State head coach James Franklin sat down in front of the media to answer questions from the assembled reporters. Today, we'll cover that conversation and his answers to tough questions about the lack of performance from his team this past weekend. The team lost to a winless UCLA squad that replaced all of its coordinators in the last two weeks. Today, we'll talk about Franklin's responses to questions and review the game from Saturday. Join us live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to give us your thoughts on the state of the program and your feelings about the last game.

Franklin was asked tough questions about why his team is underperforming expectations right now, and we'll replay his answers and then give our thoughts and interpretations of his answers. Today, we'll discuss the team's effort in the loss to UCLA and if that was an issue that Franklin saw when watching the game. We'll also dive into his answer about why his team has been inconsistent and slow to adapt this year. Finally, we'll discuss his call for his team to band together and not fracture under the pressure of the current adversity and scrutiny. How did we get here? Penn State vs UCLAPenn State lost 42-37 to UCLA on Saturday in the biggest upset in college football this season. The winless Bruins took the opening kickoff and never looked back, scoring 27 points in the first half while keeping Penn State's offense off the field for most of the first 30 minutes. We'll discuss the offensive and defensive performances from the game and give our thoughts on the major storylines that have come from the loss in the last four days. Finally, we'll wrap up the show with our look ahead to the next week in Penn State football. #PennState  #NittanyLions  JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters:  https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State vs UCLA Meltdown and Fallout | Franklin Press Conference, Game Recap Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
