Arizona Sun Devils running back Kalen Ballage announced his presence with authority in the desert on Saturday night during his team's 68-55win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders at Sun Devil Stadium.
Although he wasn't deployed as Arizona State's bell-cow back, Ballage erupted and tied the FBS record with eight totaltouchdowns, including seven on the ground, while serving as a game-breaking weapon as a rusher and receiver in the Sun Devils' second win of the season.
Here's a look at the junior's complete stat line from Saturday's signature performance:
Ballage's day started in fairly mundane fashion when he gave Arizona State a 16-14 lead early in the second quarter with a one-yard touchdown plunge, but things started to heat up as the frame progressed.
