On Monday, Kaytron Allen’s 117-yards and one touchdown performance at Rutgers from Saturday’s win received recognition as he received Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week.
Allen shared the honor with Ohio State running back Dallan Hayden, who rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns in its 43-30 win at Maryland on Saturday.
Allen in the third quarter broke off a 59-yard run in the third quarter that showed off his explosiveness as well as his known tackle-breaking ability. His big run set up an 8-yard touchdown by Allen himself to put Penn State 45-10.
