Saquon Squirrely: Surprise visitor interrupts Penn State-West Virginia

Penn State is getting the 2023 season started in a Week 1 matchup against West Virginia. However, that game had a surprise visitor with a brief interruption to the game.

That visitor came via a squirrel that somehow found its way onto the playing surface at Beaver Stadium. As stadium staff tried to corral the squirrel, it made a beeline down the field.

To be honest, the squirrel had some decent moves and impressive explosiveness, reminiscent of a squirrel version of Saquon Barkley or Nick Singleton. He did find the end zone but cannot be credited with a touchdown, mainly because he’s ineligible and his arms aren’t big enough to hold a regulation football.

Check out the moves:

While the squirrel was clearly channeling his inner football player, Penn State hasn’t needed any help offensively. Drew Allar unleashed a beautiful touchdown on his first drive as Penn State’s starter and Nick Singleton has added his first touchdown of 2023.
