James Franklin is in his eighth season as Penn State’s coach. He has only had one losing season during his time in State College. Many major programs would covet Franklin’s services. And what do you know, there is now a head coaching opening at USC. In this edition of the Blue-White Breakdown podcast, PennLive’s David Jones and Bob Flounders discuss Franklin and any potential USC interest.

There is also a college football game, kind of a big one, being played Saturday night at Beaver Stadium. Penn State, now 2-0, is ranked 10th in the country. Auburn is No. 22 and also 2-0. The Lions are six-point favorites. Jones and Flounders discuss Franklin’s Tuesday news conference and some of his thoughts about the Penn State offense.

All that, and more.
