Penn State football running back Nicholas Singleton scored his record-tying touchdown for total rushing touchdowns and all-time collegiate career touchdowns in Week 13. The senior rusher scored his 53rd total and 43rd rushing touchdown of his career, tying former Nittany Lion running back Saquon Barkley for first in the record book.

On Saturday, Singleton scored his 54th total and 44th rushing touchdown representing the blue and white. He officially took over that No. 1 spot for himself, putting Barkley back at second in both stats.
