Penn State Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Nebraska in Week 12

2. Barkley is going to score a touchdown in every way imaginable

Penn State will get off to a early lead and the game may be over before halftime. With that being said, the Nittany Lions should run and pound the ball up the throat of the Huskers defense for most of the game. Penn State’s star player in running back Saquon Barkley will have a heavy workload for the time he is in because that will be all the Nittany Lions need in this particular matchup.

While this season might not meet the expectations Barkley had coming into the year, Saquon has still had another outstanding season. Barkley still has a good chance to get invited back to the Heisman ceremony but by the looks of it, Baker Mayfield has this season’s Heisman race in a bag. Barkley comes into this game with just over a combined 1,400 yards rushing and receiving with 14 touchdowns.

Not only is he an every-down threat on offense, but Barkley has done damage on special teams. He has two kick-return touchdowns this season and is always a threat when the opposing team kicks off.

Saquon will be the star in this victory for the Nittany Lions and he will do it with fashion. Not only will he rush for over 200 yards with a couple touchdowns, but he will also do damage to the Huskers in the passing game. Barkley will pick up even more yardage with his stellar route skills and he will grab a receiving touchdown as well.

But wait, were not done yet, with the Huskers having issues defending kick-offs and punt returns, Barkley will shine in that are as well. Saquon will end the game with a rushing touchdown — or a few, a receiving touchdown and he will get his third kick-off return touchdown in this 2017 college football season. Heck, he might even spice it up with a passing touchdown — I mean, he does have one this year.
