The sack he didn’t get of an Eastern Michigan quarterback in the end zone last weekend is still eating at Josh Allen.
“Aww, man, it hurts,” he said on Wednesday with a sly smile about the one that got away. “But I gotta make up for it.”
Allen, Kentucky’s junior defensive end, has done plenty in his first five games so far this season. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound junior is tied for fourth in the nation in total sacks with 5.5 so far, second in the Southeastern Conference.
The goal is to be the guy who leads the nation in sacks by the end of the season, he said.
