If you have watched the Penn State football program under head coach James Franklin, you probably already knew how Saturday's game against No. 4 Ohio State was going to go. It ended up going the expected way with the No.
3 Nittany Lions dropping a 20-13 decision to Ohio State, handing Franklin another loss to a top team. It was another big game where he and his team, quite frankly, came up very small. The pressure on Franklin seems to already be turning up a notch, and it seems like it is going to reach a boiling point after this latest defeat.
It already started in the immediate aftermath at Beaver Stadium. Penn State fans could be heard booing Franklin prior to the playing of the school's alma mater, while "Fire Franklin" chants were also audible. Franklin also briefly got into it with a fan on his way into the locker room.

More "Fire Franklin" chants could be heard as he made his way into the team's locker room down the tunnel. Some boos in the tunnel as James Franklin exits. Fire Franklin chants as well.
