I am Tyler Donahue, very, very busy Tuesday of coverage for us at Alliance247.com. We spent much of this afternoon on campus at the Pagula Ice Arena because Beaver Stadium is still not available to us right now with all the renovations. But it was James Franklin's first press conference since the Orange Bowl post game. So the first of this very eventful offseason.
