Penn State head coach James Franklin is one of the hottest names on the coaching carousel. There is nothing new about that, as Franklin is a desirable candidate. Specifically, he is a monster recruiter and salesman. Although not a renowned tactician, Franklin wins. A stunning loss to Illinois on Saturday has the natives restless. And some believe that USC and LSU could provide better NCAA Football betting opportunities for Franklin than Happy Valley. Franklin’s one weakness is consistently beating the best teams in the Big Ten. On Saturday, he gets another shot at Top Dog Ohio State.
