                  CONGRATULATING COACH JAMES FRANKLIN

  (Mr. PERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Coach James 
Franklin and his football team from my alma mater, Penn State, on 
winning the Big Ten Championship on Saturday over the Wisconsin 
Badgers.
  Many counted out the Nittany Lions in the second quarter after 
Wisconsin took a commanding 28-7 lead. As expected, Penn State turned 
things around quickly with their lethal passing attack and always 
formidable defense.
  Quarterback Trace McSorley set a Big Ten Championship game record 
with 384 passing yards and 4 touchdowns, as number 7 Penn State

clinched one of the most impressive Big Ten titles of all time, with a 
38-31 victory over number 6 Wisconsin.
  Pennsylvania and the Nittany nation are very proud of you. We are.
