Locksley expressed his strong disapproval of Franklin's decision to throw a touchdown pass at the end of a game that already had a decisive outcome. 'It was bull---, is what it was,' he stated, emphasizing the importance of respecting the game even amidst competitive spirits. Locksley acknowledged his respect for Franklin and Penn State but could not condone what he perceived as unnecessary style points being sought at the expense of sportsmanship.
Franklin responded to the criticism by emphasizing his philosophy that all players, including reserves, should have the opportunity to compete and demonstrate their skills. 'Your 1s [starters] are in the game, you were trying to score, we’re trying to score,' Franklin suggested, highlighting the importance of scoring and point differential in their strategy, particularly as they aim for playoff consideration. 'If you don't get that, it's really not my problem,' he concluded.
