Tom Allen previews matchup with SMU
Allen spoke with the media for roughly 20 minutes on Tuesday, discussing the team’s journey over the season and it’s matchup this weekend.
“The thing that jumps out is their athleticism. That receiver, the tight end position is very solid running back, you know, is a converted by receiver. So those, those challenges that he creates with that, and the way they were able to do that schematically has been impressive. And I think the quarterback, he really makes him go,” Allen said.
