Devon Allen does hurdles touchdown celebration (video)

Oregon wide receiver Devon Allen had an Olympic-themed celebration planned for his first touchdown since 2014.

Allen, who finished fifth in the 110m hurdles in Rio, cleared two more invisible hurdles in the end zone after his 77-yard scoring catch in Oregon’s 44-26 win over Virginia on Saturday night.

“I wanted to do something to incorporate the whole Olympic hurdle thing, and I think that was the best thing I could have done on a touchdown,” Allen told media. “It was pretty funny. My teammates got a kick out of it, too.”

Allen said he had been planning it for about a week.
