It went from bad to worse for Penn State in Week 7 after losing to Northwestern 22-21 on Saturday. And if the loss on the field wasn’t enough, Nittany Lions coach James Franklin became the theme of the Wildcats’ petty troll.
After a stunning loss to unranked UCLA in Week 6, the pressure was on Franklin to deliver a victory against Northwestern. Instead, Penn State dropped its third straight game after scoring just one touchdown in the second half.
Northwestern targeted Franklin with its postgame troll. On Friday, Franklin posted a video on X with the caption: “Northwestern, Northwestern, Northwestern!!!”
The Wildcats referenced that caption, instead emphasizing the final Northwestern in all caps to cap the win.
