STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- With nearly 20 reporters huddled around him last Saturday, Saquon Barkley wasn't in a mood to exalt his own performance.
Sure, Penn State's star running back could have easily smiled and nodded when reminded of his day -- 246 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. Instead, he took the time to point out a mistake. Funny enough, Barkley's only flaw happened on an 80-yard burst.
That run could have been a tad longer and gone for another score had the junior not stepped ever-so-slightly out of bounds 7 yards shy of the goal line.
