Has Barkley himself had a better game in his Penn State Career? Have there been any other games by a running back that have been as impressive? How about passing performances from a QB? A great performance by a defensive player?

I have had season tickets since 1975. That was the greatest individual,performance of any PSU player in any one game ever.Has Barkley himself had a better game in his Penn State Career?

Have to agree and I've been watching Penn State since the early 1960's.I have had season tickets since 1975. That was the greatest individual,performance of any PSU player in any one game ever.
Did you see Barry Sanders' Heisman year? Mind boggling how good he wasHe is unreal on and off th field...only two back comparable...Bo Jackson and Adrian Petersen.
No but another great player with class to be compared too...I was more referring to Bo and APs style to SBsDid you see Barry Sanders' Heisman year? Mind boggling how good he was
Ah. Yeah, he's got a lot of AP in him when he turns the power onNo but another great player with class to be compared too...I was more referring to Bo and APs style to SBs
I was thinking the same thing all night... Barkey looks to be tackled for a loss, and he breaks a tackle or outruns them to the edge.so weird to see a play and think...huh....that didn't go very well....and realize that it was an 8 yard gain....he's just supernatural
Not only did he hurdle the guy, but then he gets hit on the way down and still lands on his feet and gets a couple more yards.He wills things into happening. That hurdle to get the first down on 3rd and 6... I've seen him hurdle now a bunch of times, but that was unreal.
I did think about LJ JR against MSU, but still give this one to BarkleyThe only two performances that I can think of that got surpassed by this performance tonite was Zack Mills in the 324 game and LJ vs. Indiana and Michigan State in 2002.
In case you want to enjoy that 3rd down conversion again:Not only did he hurdle the guy, but then he gets hit on the way down and still lands on his feet and gets a couple more yards.

That's a good comparison. Hopefully he has a better pro career thoughHe reminds me Anthony Davis from USC - run, catch, returns, block. Power, speed, quickness, and can break it on every play. My only request would be to put him in the I near the goal line and let him build up some steam heading into or over the line of scrimmage.

Cappy's four touchdown effort against Lou Holtz led N C State comes to mind. Won the Heisman with it.I have had season tickets since 1975. That was the greatest individual,performance of any PSU player in any one game ever.
Without a single FB on the roster, I think it would be difficult to line up in the I formationHe reminds me Anthony Davis from USC - run, catch, returns, block.

The Jets will screw that up and take an offensive tackle, you know it and I know it.I'll buy his #1 quality fake jersey from whatever team drafts him and wear it with pride, even if it is the jets.
Very good comparison. Thanks. I hadn't thought of AD for a spell.He reminds me Anthony Davis from USC - run, catch, returns, block. Power, speed, quickness, and can break it on every play. My only request would be to put him in the I near the goal line and let him build up some steam heading into or over the line of scrimmage.
My only beef with that play was that it was a run and not a pass. That was a lateral and shoul go into his rushing stats.In case you want to enjoy that 3rd down conversion again:
How long will it be until the NCAA makes it illegal to hurdle a defender? They'll call it a safety precaution.
AD, like Barry Sanders were small. Great backs but never possessed the power of SB. The only three I can think of that were true 'five tool' players are OJ, Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson. But those guys were never asked to catch. Last night was the first time I saw a ball hit SB that he didn't catch, and it just glanced off his finger tips.He reminds me Anthony Davis from USC - run, catch, returns, block.

Robinson could do it. And bring in Givens too. Let Barkley jump the pile from two yards out.Without a single FB on the roster, I think it would be difficult to line up in the I formation
