Last week, Penn State coach James Franklin created some controversy when he called a timeout to ice a kicker while the Nittany Lions held a 56-0 lead.
Though he’s already explained the decision, saying the backup field goal unit wasn’t lined up properly, ESPN’s College GameDay had him on to explain it again on Saturday morning.
Or, rather, they had comedian Keegan-Michael Key on to do his impersonation of Franklin. The comedian looks just like the Penn State coach, so he donned some Nittany Lions gear and gave his explanation for what happened on that fateful play:

The segment provided plenty of laughs (especially from analyst Desmond Howard) and Key will be back on in a bit as the guest picker.
Here’s hoping this isn’t the last time we see him impersonate Franklin.
