Saquon Barkley once again led the way for Penn State players in the NFL this week. Barkley rushed for 83 yards on 22 carries and scored the game-winning touchdown in the New York Giants’ 24-20 come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley now has 616 rushing yards on the season good for second in the NFL through six weeks
