Penn State head coach James Franklin discusses and previews the Indiana matchup this weekend.

Above is the full Q&A.

Below are a few key quotes.

On Tom Allen calling the defense and his philosophy: "It is very important for him to make you one dimensional and stop the run. He's going to use as many resources as he has to to stop the run... numbers in the box, whether that's angling or slanting or stunting or however you want to describe it, dropping safeties down the box like we used to do with Marcus Allen... He's committed to doing it and making you one dimensional. When you study all the analytics, that comes true over and over again. Not only this year, but really his career to your point. Really shows up on short-yardage situations. Third and fourth down short yardage situations. Then they do some good things coverage-wise where they probably have a little bit more diversity coverage-wise through scheme to try to make up for the commitment that they're make to go stop the run, to try to force you into some bad decisions through scheme."

On the Indiana offense: "High tempo offense, maybe the fastest offense in the country when it comes to tempo. Guys that we're impressed with is the Auburn transfer at running back, Shaun Shivers, who we're familiar with. The running back that is giving them juice right now, Jaylin Lucas, as both a return man and running back. The quarterback, Connor Bazelak, who is also a transfer, and then a receiver that we're familiar with, Emery Simmons, is also a transfer."

On Cam Jones potentially returning: "And then we're not really sure what's going to happen, but make the argument their best player, No.4, Cam Jones, has been out the last couple weeks and he's week to week, so we're preparing as if he'll be back."

On Penn State potential switching starting QBs: "We'll continue to evaluate it like we always do... we're going to look at who gives us the best chance to be 1-0 this week and go from there. Whoever that is based on this week's practice and preparation, we'll go with. That's really kind of how it's been all year long. Again, I've had good conversations with a bunch of members of the staff about it, making sure we're all on the same page, making sure we are all seeing it the same way... whoever is going to give us a chance to be 1-0 this week and have a chance to win a bunch of games this year, for all the guys in the locker room, that's who we're going to go with."
