Franklin was let go last year after struggling with the Nittany Lions. He was eventually replaced by Matt Campbell, but Penn State's season has yet to reach new heights.
The Hokies have a bye this weekend before heading to SMU. They followed that up with Stanford at home as a precursor to a trip to top-ranked Miami.
