Player of the Week: Keenan Allen

Football vs. Washington
Emma Lantos/File

After an injury-plagued freshman campaign, Keenan Allen is finally showing why he was a five-star recruit — and is turning into one of the best receivers, and players, in the country.

Against Washington on Saturday, the sophomore wide receiver caught 10 passes for 197 yards, both career highs. His 90-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter was the longest pass play in Cal program history.

His play warranted him Wide Receiver Performer of the Week honors from the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA).

Oh yeah, Allen now leads the country in receiving yards with 498. His 30 receptions ranks 11th in the nation.
