Penn State running back Saquon Barkley chasing 'perfection'

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Saquon Barkley relaxed beneath the glow of his TV, lying in bed and mentally replaying his third-quarter fumble hours after the Week 2 loss to Pitt.

He was in for the night after scarfing down some comfort food, a burger and fries from Five Guys. And he couldn’t free that fumble from his mind. So he embraced the nagging thought, grabbed his phone and turned straight to the video clip.

He watched it once. Then again. Slowed it down and watched it twice more. Then repeated the exercise, maybe 20 times in all.
