Here are the Three Touchdowns Saquon Barkley Scored on Michigan’s Top-Ranked Defense

Penn State’s Saquon Barkley scored three times against the nation’s top-ranked defense.

Even non-college football fans probably know about Saquon Barkley by now, but if you don’t, this would be a good time to do that.

The Penn State tailback laid waste to Michigan’s top-ranked defense on Saturday night, moving the Nittany Lions to 7–0 with a trio of key scores.

Barkley wasted absolutely no time scoring, setting the tone for Penn State’s 42–13 win on the second play of the game. He took a direct snap and immediately cut into all the space he needed, outrunning the Wolverines for a huge 69-yard score.

The second touchdown came shortly afterward, as Barkley took an option to the house largely untouched, going 15 yards for another score.

After a much longer wait, the third score came in the fourth quarter through the air, as Barkley juggled and hauled in a deep pass from Trace McSorley to extend the Penn State lead.

​

Barkley finished with 108 yards on the ground and 53 through the air, and became the first player in Penn State history with 3,000-plus rushing yards and 1,000-plus receiving yards in his career.

Fantasy football owners can dream.
