Regarding the two former Penn State football players, we released a statement yesterday and our program and athletic department will have no further comment,” a spokesperson said.

Wisconsin will welcome James Franklin and No. 3 Penn State to Camp Randall Stadium for a prime-time showdown this week. Franklin is a perfect 3-0 against the Badgers since becoming the program's head coach in 2014.

With a Penn State player holding the flag near the USC logo and a few others nearby appearing to enjoy the spectacle, Franklin quickly appeared from a nearby scrum of bodies and put a halt to gesture. Franklin shook his finger at the player before grabbing the flag himself and walking it over to someone else while saying "take that."

Penn State head coach refuses to answer questions regarding former players Jameial Lyons and Kaveion Keys, who were arraigned Wednesday and face felony charges including rape.
