Watching ESPN2 for the first time in ages because I'm meeting a client at a pub, but I had no idea how much coverage Saquon Barkley was getting in all these predraft shows. He's like the only thing anyone talks about, which is great... but the one thing that irks me, however, is how they keep playing that run in the Rose Bowl in a clip that changes camera angles like 17 times. It looks like 17 different runs instead of one spectacular run. Am i alone on this?
Saquon's run looks best from @Obliviax' sig pic where you watch it in one continuous motion in real time. He takes the handoff from Trace and you figure he'll be dropped in the backfield by the DE, then he pops outside where 3 defenders meet him at the LOS, but he makes a violent cut upfield and splits all 3, and then a safety is about to plow right through him and Saquon breaks his ankle -- a split second later, he somehow evades a diving linebacker and then Chris Godwin escorts him in for the rest of the way.
Can we agree that the multi-angle camera clip totally ruins what might be the best run in Penn State history? Why do they never show it as one comtinuous clip? Here's another good view from the stands. You can see how Saquon sets up every single move.
