Saquon Barkley got past the Temple defensive line and broke through the linebackers. All that was left between the Penn State sophomore running back and the end zone was Sean Chandler and green grass.
Lined up head on with the Owls’ junior defensive back, Barkley faked left and cut right, making Chandler stumble in his tracks on his way to a 55-yard touchdown run with seven minutes, 20 seconds left in the game.
The late touchdown put Penn State up by two scores and proved to be the difference in Temple’s 34-27 loss to the Nittany Lions on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
