Saquon Barkley might’ve had his Heisman moment, correction: moments, during Penn State’s 45-14 win over Indiana on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions running back, who’s perhaps the current front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, showcased all his talents at Beaver Stadium as No. 4 Penn State moved to 5-0. On the first play of the game, Barkley returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. But things only got more impressive from there.
Here’s the kickoff return:

Talk about being worth the price of admission.
Then, in the third quarter, Barkley turned what looked to be a negative play into a 36-yard reception, thanks to an amazing catch and some ridiculous moves in the open field.

But Barkley wasn’t done. Late in the fourth quarter, he showed off his quarterback skills by throwing a 16-yard touchdown pass.

All in a days work.
Barkley finished the day with 56 rushing yards, 51 receiving yards, 16 passing yards and 98 kickoff-return yards.
Yeah, we’re pretty sure he’ll be in New York in December.
