Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was, like many of us, watching Penn State take on Iowa on Saturday night and was blown away by Saquon Barkley.

We couldn’t agree more with you, Zeke.

Barkley has been the only reliable offensive player for Penn State against the talented Iowa defense. He put the team on his back after a 7-5 halftime deficit that was caused by an awful throw by Trace McSorley, which led to a touchdown for the Hawkeyes.

Through just about 40 minutes, the dynamic running back has racked up 210 yards on 24 touches, and his touchdown with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter put Penn State up by the score of 15-7.
