The Bruins put Allen, a wide receiver, in the backfield and he ran for 137 yards and a long touchdown in a 50-36 victory at Arizona State.
Kazmeir Allen spent just one day at practice last week taking reps as a running back. The wide receiver didn’t know that UCLA’s star running back Zach Charbonnet would be unavailable for Saturday’s game at Arizona State.
“I’m just a ball player, at the end of the day,” Allen said to reporters. “I just like the ball in my hands.” “With his speed, if he gets out in the open field makes the first defender miss, it’s lights out for him,” quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson said. Without Charbonnet, who has rushed for 100 yards in his last five games, UCLA still ran all over Arizona State with more than 400 rushing yards split among four rushers. Thompson-Robinson rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns, and Colson Yankoff had eight carries for 48 yards and a game-sealing touchdown.
