It’s been over a month since Penn State cut ties with James Franklin. But the Nittany Lions are finally shaking off the aftershock. Interim coach Terry Smith did not have the smoothest ride, winning just two of five games. Amidst this chaos, the locker room just signaled something big. The Franklin era is done, and they’re moving forward.

After landing the Nebraska Cornhuskers a fresh 37-10 defeat on November 22, Smith faced the media. Basic Blues Nation tweeted, “Nittany Lion players hold “Hire Terry Smith” signs as Smith declares “It’s my locker room” in his postgame remarks. Quite the statement from the Penn State locker room. #WeAre #PennState.” However, the damage by Franklin has already left huge craters back in the Happy Valley.
