The complete — and impressive — history of Ohio State vs. elite running backs and what it means for Saquon Barkley

When Saquon Barkley caught a pass behind the line of scrimmage, hurdled a defender, took a hit in mid-air and still landed on his feet to get a crucial first down late in Penn State's dramatic win at Iowa, he made the play they'll show over and over and over again during the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York City in December.

Maybe it would be smart to just ship the guy the trophy now.

Barkley is, without question, the most electrifying player in college football and a generational type of back. You could make an argument that Barkley is already a top 10 running back in the NFL and he's not even there yet.
