I think the most unfair treatment for James Franklin is to compare him to Urban Meyer or Jim Harbaugh or whatever because he's just not that guy but in terms of covering as a favorite this guy makes you money the only two coaches that are better ATS since 2005 are Mike Gundy and Jim Trestle that's it he is better than every other coach to put him on the sidelines this guy is just one of those dudes that finds a way to cover the number and the other part about Franklin I say this in a respectful way he's kind of a prick he knows that the boosters want to cover the number whether it be the West Virginia game the game last year against Northwestern when he had the backup take a fake knee and throw a touchdown pass he knows what the number is and late in games he tries to cover that thing guys so I saw this dip down to 7 and A2 for a brief second got blasted back up now you're going to take eight against a coach who's ticked off who wants to cover and is probably going to cover mm-m it's pens stator pass for me
