The Sports Illustrated cover jinx really doesn't come up much these days, but it's sure to be a talking point in Penn State circles this week.
Saquon Barkley appears on the cover of a special edition the outlet put out that aims to celebrate the Nittany Lions' 25 years in the Big Ten. It features a look at the program's best games and players over the last quarter-century, and is selling for $15.99 at news stands and online.
The cover jinx, of course, says that those who show up on the magazine's front might struggle or have something bad happen in their next season, game, or otherwise.
