Ann Arbor — In last week’s season opener, with the exception of a few quick on-field appearances, Kenny Allen was a blip on the football field.
He didn’t mind, though.
“It was a good thing,” said Allen, Michigan’s master of all things kicking.
For the fourth time in program history, Michigan did not punt, leaving Allen watching the game much of the day.
But didn’t he get bored?
“We kicked a lot of extra points,” he said, smirking, adding the kickers kept warming up on the sideline just in case.
In the 63-3 rout of Hawaii, Allen did kick five of the team’s nine extra points in addition to six kickoffs.
