WATCH: Even Saquon Barkley’s mistakes turn into touchdowns
Published:
Penn State could do absolutely nothing wrong on Saturday night. Even a few plays that appeared to be mistakes turned into big plays.
One of those came in the fourth quarter. With the Nittany Lions leading 28-13, the offense wanted to slam the door on Michigan and create some separation late in the game. And it looked like they weren’t going to be able to put the final nail in the coffin.
A deep pass from Trace McSorley aimed a Saquon Barkley appeared to be just out of reach, with the Penn State running back getting only his fingers on the ball. But Barkley was able to tip the ball up and later haul it in for another touchdown.
It sealed the deal for Penn State and possibly the Heisman Trophy.
Nothing could go wrong in Happy Valley for the Nittany Lions on Saturday night.
You thought @saquonb21 was going to drop two big passes in one night?
