Description

PennLive’s Bob Flounders welcomes back retiree David Jones to the Blue-White Breakdown podcast to discuss what has gone wrong for James Franklin’s Penn State program in the last two games.


Jones, a longtime PSU football sports columnist for PennLive and The Patriot-News, watched the Nittany Lions’ stunning 42-37 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl and shared his thoughts on their performance.


Franklin, Penn State’s 12th-year head coaching, is under fire after losses to Oregon and UCLA. The Lions have some major problems to solve when they host Northwestern on Saturday.


Jones has some strong opinions on the Lions’ defense, Drew Allar, PSU football's culture and Franklin's relationship with the program's large fan base.


Plus, what would Dave have written about Franklin last Saturday following the UCLA upset?
