James Franklin took a few moments to look over the stats after his team’s latest win. Franklin’s No. 14 Nittany Lions beat Central Michigan in nearly every column on Saturday, but after Penn State’s 33-14 win, Franklin wasn’t satisfied. “In terms of the critical areas, I wouldn’t say it felt like this, but we won all of them,” Franklin said. Sean Clifford completed 22 of 34 passes for 217 yards and accounted for four touchdowns for the Nittany Lions, who forced four turnovers to keep the game out of reach.
