While Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott garnered more headlines by passing the 3,000 yard career rushing mark last week against Penn State, a true freshman from Coplay, Pa., named Saquon Barkley continued to blossom in the Heisman Trophy candidate’s shadow. Barkley has quickly become a star for the Nittany Lions, not just for his production but also for his flair.
The lasting image of his 194-yard performance against Ohio State came in the fourth quarter, when after shuffling through two levels of the defense, Barkley dashed across midfield as a Buckeyes defender tried to pull him down by his undershirt.
