TEMPE, Ariz. -- Kalen Ballage couldn’t possibly take all the credit for this.
One person alone isn’t capable of producing his stat line from Arizona State’s 68-55 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night. Ballage scored eight touchdowns -- tying a 26-year-old NCAA record -- on just 15 offensive touches.
Yes, 15 touches.
The junior running back carried the ball 13 times for 137 yards and seven scores and caught two passes for 48 yards and one touchdown. With 9:11 to play in the game, his career-long 75-yard run equaled the single-game scoring record set by Howard Griffith of Illinois in 1990.
