Saturday night I found myself watching my beloved Penn State Nittany Lions get run off the field by the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes by a score of 38-10. However, one positive in the game was the play of true freshman running back Saquon Barkley. Seeing his first game action in nearly a month, Barkley shredded a very good Ohio State defense for 194 yards on 26 carries. He also had a 40+ yard touchdown run called back due to a hold on Brian Gaia.
Despite the Nittany Lion loss on Saturday night, Saquon Barkley proved, to anyone that still doubted him, that he is a very special player.
