According to Strat-O-Matic, Allen would complete 18-of-24 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns.’

‘“That just kind of speaks to the professional he is,” center Mitch Morse said after that game. “We’re all trying to grow and be better men and better football players, and I think that’s just a testament to him staying mentally engaged in a scary time, right?

It was just great to see.”’
