Allen recorded a school-record 4½ tackles for loss among his career-best 13 stops Saturday at Arkansas State, and he also tied a career high with two sacks in helping the Jaguars allow their lowest point total in over two years.  In recording the most tackles ever by a USA defensive lineman, the senior forced one punt with a sack in the opening quarter of a scoreless game, another with a third-down tackle in the final period and also had a pair of stops — including one behind the line — after ASU had first-and-goal on its opening possession of the second half, forcing the Red Wolves to settle for a field goal.  Not only does Allen now rank in the top 10 on the school season record list with 11 tackles for loss (seventh) and seven sacks (fourth) this fall, he moved into eighth in the program’s career record books in the latter category.
