2 Penn State Greats Are Super Bowl Champions

He’s continued that into the postseason. In the wildcard round against the Green Bay Packers, he rushed for 119 yards on 25 carries. The next round was perhaps the signature performance of his NFL career. Against the Los Angeles Rams, Barkley rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Both TD runs— 68 and 72 yards— were epic. The second one was especially so since it happened in the middle of a snowstorm.

Barkley is the clear top dog on a team of stars.

Dotson, on the other hand, flew under the radar.

The former Penn State receiver had 216 yard on 19 receptions in the regular season and caught a touchdown pass in the Wildcard round against Green Bay.

In the Super Bowl, he made some more noise. In the first quarter, he caught a 27-yard pass that brought Philly to the 1-yard line. One the next play, QB Jalen Hurts scored via “Tush Push.”

Dotson had a 15-yard reception later in the first half to end with 42 yards— his second highest total of the season— on two catches.

Barkley, on the other hand, didn’t put up the dazzling numbers fans have grown used to. He ended with 56 yards on 24 carries. But it’s doubtful that matters much to him, because he’s a champ, and he and Dotson will be celebrating for as long as they desire.
