Watch: Barkley explodes for 53-yard TD run vs. Northwestern

Through almost three full quarters on Saturday, Northwestern was able to effectively bottle up Penn State star Saquon Barkley.

With 2:25 to play in the third, Barkley had been held to just 4 yards rushing in the contest, but quickly changed that with a 53-yard explosion for his second touchdown of the contest.

The star junior now has eight touchdowns on the season and remains in the driver's seat for the Heisman.
