The only Badger backs who have accomplished the feat quicker than Allen are Ron Dayne, Jonathan Taylor, P.J Hill and Anthony Davis. Those 4 backs are all in the top 10 of Wisconsin rushing yards, so Allen has entered some legendary company.
Allen reached 2,000 yards quicker than school legends Montee Ball, Melvin Gordon and James White.
