James Franklin gets another shot at the problem that haunted his Penn State tenure

James Franklin has enjoyed considerable success over his 16 seasons as a head coach. He has lost just 62 games during that span, was one of the most successful coaches in Penn State history, and has already doubled Virginia Tech's win total from a season ago in the first year of his rebuild in Blacksburg, Virginia. However, the Achilles' heel of Franklin's career has long been his team's performance against ranked opponents. That shortcoming played a significant role in his firing at Penn State this time last year , a decision Franklin said caught him in "shock." It came on the heels of a three-game losing streak that also included back-to-back defeats to unranked opponents, after Penn State entered the season as the No. 3 team in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll . College football picks: Predictions for every Top 25 game on Week 10 schedule Best jobs available: Ranking the college football coaching openings In Week 10 of the 2026 season, Franklin will have an opportunity to put the narrative that he can't beat ranked opponents on the back burner when the Hokies travel to take on No. 24 SMU.

Several northcentral schools receive bomb threats Friday

State College, Pa. — Three schools in north-central Pennsylvania have reported receiving bomb threats by phone Friday morning, prompting evacuations and K-9 searches. State College Police said Mount Nittany Elementary School received a threatening call that was immediately reported. Investigators said the threat was not credible and is believed to have been a hoax “swatting” incident connected to similar calls at other schools across Pennsylvania. Out of caution, police provided a presence at schools throughout the district. At Renn Elementary in Lairdsville, East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins said the school received a bomb threat call at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were notified and the building was evacuated. Students were moved to an off-site location. When K-9 units needed additional time, the district began parent reunification. All students were reunited with parents or sent home on buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later cleared the building. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. No one was injured. In Lewisburg, the Buffalo Valley Regional Police Department said an individual called Linntown Intermediate School and reported that a bomb had been placed inside. Teachers and staff were present for parent-teacher conferences and were evacuated. A K-9
