Franklin covered a range of topics, including the stark contrast in his defense’s performance between the first and second halves, the play of sophomore linebacker Tony Rojas, injuries affecting safety KJ Winston and tight end Andrew Rappleyea, and the contributions of true freshman tight end Luke Reynolds, among other subjects. The press conference lasted about 10 minutes.
Penn State redshirt freshman tight end Andrew Rappleyea, who made his first career start last week at West Virginia, was listed as unavailable on the team’s report ahead of Saturday’s home opener against Bowling Green. Later in the day, he was seen using crutches on the sideline.
Rappleyea had spoken to the media and took part in parts of Wednesday’s practice that were open to the press. However, the details and extent of his injury remain unclear.
