WATCH: Miles Sanders blazes past Illinois defense on long TD run
Published:
Penn State hasn’t had quite the night it’s expected in Champaign, getting all it can handle from Illinois. Fortunately for the Nittany Lions, Miles Sanders is proving to be a little too much.
Midway through the third quarter, Sanders showed off his best Saquon Barkley impression, bouncing off a hit from a potential tackler, then sprinting to the end zone for a touchdown. The 49-yard run was one of the Sanders’ top moments of the night.
