Watch James Franklin's complete Tuesday press conference

Following Penn State's season opening win over Wisconsin over the weekend, James Franklin was back with the media Tuesday afternoon to recap the win over the Badgers.

To start, he discussed some of the pros and cons from the win before being asked about a handful of specific players who missed on Saturday's game, including kicker Jake Pinegar, who was available. Franklin discussed that situation, as well as few other players throughout the course of the press conference.

Other questions included Franklin's thoughts on the targeting call that forced LB Ellis Brooks to leave the game in the third quarter. He'll now be out again during the first half this upcoming weekend.
