You can’t keep Saquon Barkley in check all day long.
Northwestern’s defense did a phenomenal job shutting down the Heisman candidate for most of Saturday’s game against Penn State. But eventually, Barkley did what he always does, and broke free.
The junior running back ripped off a 53-yard touchdown run, essentially ending Northwesterns chances of pulling off the upset.

Barkley had two touchdowns on the afternoon as the Nittany Lions had little trouble with Northwestern in Evanston.
