The end of an era.

Following the season-ending injury for Drew Allar and the firing of James Franklin, TikTok has been flooded with edits that bring tears to my eyes. And just how the algorithm goes, the more I like and share, the more I see, causing a never-ending cycle of watching what could have been.

Folks, I love Penn State football. And, while this season has been on a downward slope since starting at the preseason No. 2 spot, both Franklin and Allar brought this team to a field goal away from the National Title just last season. And while fans can hate all they want, they both have given us their fair share of great moments throughout the years to be a proud Penn State fan.

But if you want to reminisce on the good ol’ days or want a good cry, we compiled some of the best “James Franklin and Drew Allar Era” TikTok edits.

It is a shame that the last few weeks have spiraled for Penn State, but that can’t take away from the many memorable moments that the Nittany Lions had under James Franklin!
