He was halted on numerous times when he tried the ends or stabbed at the line. But whenever the goal line was in sight and Tennessee needed two or three yards they called on the Immortal man from Bristol. Never ones did he fail to come through. "I wish Buddv and Bobby could have been here." said McEver after the game. In his greatest victory the laf of the "Grand Triumvirat was thinking of those two great warriors who have passed on.

Allen was a continual threat throughout the game. He ranked next to "Hurry" Cain in yardage gamed with 54 yards. Cain, one of the greatest of all Alabama ball carriers, had just one i yard more.
