You can watch the replay over and over, at different speeds at any time of day, but Saquon Barkley’s hurdle over an Iowa defender will never stop being impressive.
Below is the real-time edition of Barkley’s hurdle which came in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Hawkeyes. Even from a distance, the play was sensational.
The previous tweet we claimed was the @saquonb21 hurdle was actually a different play. 😵

You could watch that on replay all day long.
But what happens when you slow that footage down? Would Barkley’s hurdle look even more spectacular in slow motion?
Fortunately, someone captured that play in slow motion. And yes, it was even more incredible than in real-time.

There aren’t many college football players that can do the things Barkley does on the field. There aren’t a lot of professional players that could do it either.
That’s one play that will probably be on the highlight reel all season long.
