Even when you think you’ve seen everything from Saquon Barkley, he finds a new way to surprise you.
The Penn State running back was raising eyebrows on Saturday night as the Lions battled Iowa in Kinnick Stadium. Early in the third quarter, Barkley put together a series of really impressive runs, eluding Iowa defenders and churning out big gains.
Here are just a few of those big runs from Saturday night.
And then Barkley did this on the next play. He was out at the 2. pic.twitter.com/Lc8sNe3Njx

Do you need another reason to vote this guy as the top Heisman contender?
Barkley eviscerated the first three defenses Penn State faced, but his success was somewhat marked up to bad competition. But against an always-stout Iowa defense, the Nittany Lions ball-carrier is leaving no doubt.
In a huge game, Barkley is proving just how dominant he can be.
