Saquon Barkley: 'Nothing better' than White Out in Happy Valley
It sounds like Saquon Barkley misses playing in the atmosphere at Happy Valley.
The former Nittany Lions star and rookie RB for the New York Giants knows all about playing in front of a packed crowd at Penn State. Barkley finished his career with 3,843 yards rushing and 43 TDs on the ground in one of the more remarkable careers for a collegiate RB.
Barkley is also no stranger to a huge performance in a White Out game. He rushed for 108 yards and scored 3 total TDs as the Nittany Lions took out Michigan in Happy Valley last season. Barkley is now competing in the NFL, but he took time to reminisce about his time at Penn State Tuesday.
He responded to a tweet from Kirk Herbstreit during Penn State’s White Out in 2017. Barkley simply said “There’s nothing better” and that he will miss running out during a White Out in Happy Valley:
There’s nothing better!!!! Man I’m going to miss running out to a WHITEOUT! #WeAre https://t.co/c4a4Us6LVE
