Camp Barkley #1 Overall
-
The worst game I've found from him from a ypc statistic was last year.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Saquon Barkley ran for two go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter, helping No. 10 Penn State beat Indiana 45-31 on Saturday.
Barkley was held to 20 yards on 20 carries though the first three quarters. But the Big Ten's top rusher stepped up in the final period, helping the Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1, No. 12 AP) keep pace with No. 3 Michigan in the East Division with their sixth consecutive victory.

Big-play offense keeps Penn State in mix for New Yearâs Six
Behind its explosive offense, Penn State overcame a 10-point second-half deficit to defeat Indiana and stay in position for a prime bowl game.
First, Barkley found a hole for a 4-yard TD run that made it 28-24. After Indiana regained the lead on Richard Lagow's 40-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook, Barkley ran over a defender for a 2-yard score with 3:58 left.
"What you can't do when you're struggling in the run game is abort it, especially with a young offensive line," Penn State coach James Franklin said. "It was a gutsy, gutsy win on the road."
Penn State sealed the victory with a 9-yard fumble return for a TD with 29 seconds left.
Barkley finished with 60 yards on 33 carries. Trace McSorley was 16 of 30 for 332 yards with two TD passes and two interceptions.

If you take out Barkley's 2 catches in that game the QB was 14 of 28 for 332 yards. That seems chunk plays to me. To me that tells me they sold out to stop the run, and got burnt for doing so. Barkley played his part and grinded, in the end when it counted he punched it in for a lead.
They won't be able to do that to the Browns because we have Gordon who can blow the top off if they slip up and sell out.

He's a good football player, no doubt. But calling him a generational player when he hasn't played a down in the NFL is ludicrous. And the expectation can't be the any college player can duplicate the big play numbers they had in college at the pro level.
0-16 is as bad as you can get as a team. But the 53 players on the team are still the best of the best college had to offer. There isn't a "scrub" anywhere.
The reason that a game like Ohio State is being discussed. They are closer to what an NFL defense will look like in regards to skill, speed, size, etc. than most teams.
So there is a difference in how a player performs against Mercer and against Clemson.
So, with how you view your new hero in Saquon Barkley, who would you rather have on your football team, Barkley or Gurley?

I actually envision this a bit more:

Would it be that bad if Hogan started the season while Baker learned from Hogan's experience? Hogan with Barkley, Gordon, Coleman and Njoku. They are gonna put up a lot of points if they get to work together and develop some chemistry.
1. Would it be that bad if Hogan started the season while Baker learned from Hogan's experience?
2. How sweet would it be to draft a #1 Overall RB?
I love a pop quiz...
- I'm going to go with.... "Very?"
- Ummmm... "Bitter?"
POP QUIZ: As to "Hogan's experience"... do we think we can afford the 7 minutes it would take to fully communicate that?

Barkley against Ohio State in 2015 - Penn State leaned on Barkley, who had missed the last two games with a foot injury. He made a difference, but his long touchdown run that could have put Penn State up 10-0 in the first quarter was wiped out by a holding call on right guard Brian Gaia.

I think that you guys tend to expect TOO MUCH from players sometimes. Take a guess at which 2 runningbacks owned these college stats?

I love it how some posters create camps in this forum...
While others create nazi parties and fill everything up with propaganda.

Yeah- Zombo is the one with real powers, like kick bums off, suspend people, or change screen names.(Regarding the messing with names, I've told him several times I don't approve, and I think it's childish) I can only warn, delete, merge, and move. Haven't seen anything yet I'd want to move. Po means well, so let him show his over the top Barkley love here. His track record on spotting winners is sort of iffy....

One was Adrian Peterson the other was Eric Dickerson.

Barkley, easy.

Damn... I missed one.
Guess my two were stumpers...
They were:

- Steve Slaton - School: West Virginia - Position: RB - Heisman Voting: 4th in 2006
