I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Delightful that we're struggling with Northwestern again.

I've compared Allen to Eddie George before, but I honestly think he's a little faster and quicker.

Is there a reason Allen wasn't getting touches earlier in the year?

I would honestly consider resting him. If they can't beat NW without him, there's not even that much to cheer for anymore.

Good to see him back in the game. Made a good cut on the ankle, too.

That guy finishing the tackle 3 yards into the end zone can suck it.

How was Allen considered anything other than a RB?

240lb running backs just aren't successful, obviously.

He's potentially an incredible LB too. I think that's the main reason.

This is a great story of how it all came to be.

The tl;dr version is the Badgers and Allen knew he was a RB before the national recruiting services caught on.
