Marcus Allen, with the same boyish smile and messy curly hair that endeared him to Penn State fans, walked off the Saint Vincent College practice field Tuesday and took a step back in time.
The date? Feb. 1, 2009. The occasion? Super Bowl XLIII.
Allen — who lived in Maryland but grew up in Pittsburgh — was at his cousin’s house in the 412 to celebrate Ben Roethlisberger’s last-minute touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes, the difference in the Steelers’ 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
“We go out on the strip and go nuts with everybody,” Allen told the CDT.
