Penn State and SMU carry the weight of history into their CFP debuts. They're both trying to shed it
Dec 20, 2024 5:36 pm - Penn State and SMU head into the College Football Playoff with the weight of history on their shoulders. This is the Nittany Lions' best shot at making a run at a national title since the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal tarnished the program 13 years ago. SMU is still perhaps best known for being given the death penalty by the NCAA in the 1980s for illegally paying players. Former Nittany Lions give coach James Franklin credit for bringing the program back to prominence. Mustangs coach Rhett Lashlee says the work to restore SMU's reputation began long before he arrived in 2022.
