What is James Franklin’s all-time record in bowl games?

Penn State is looking to win a New Years Six bowl game in back-to-back seasons when they take on Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl. A season after winning the Rose Bowl, Penn State is looking to become the first school in college football history to record at least one win in each of the New Years Six bowl games. Doing so would give head coach James Franklin a fourth different New Years Six bowl game, a feat few coaches have pulled off in the history of college football.

Franklin is 6-5 all-time in bowl games as a head coach, including a 4-4 mark in postseason bowl games at Penn State and a 2-1 record as head coach of Vanderbilt prior to his arrival in State College. Penn State has yet to have back-to-back bowl wins under Franklin, so the pressure will be on to buck that trend in the Peach Bowl against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, Dec. 30.

Here is a look at James Franklin’s all-time bowl results heading into this season’s Peach Bowl.
