For the final PlayStation 2 Football Challenge, an Allen once again coached the Kansas Jayhawks.
Not Terry Allen, but Kansas sophomore Blake Allen. While not related to KU’s former head coach, Blake Allen does have some legendary Jayhawk blood in his family. He’s the great grandson of Kansas basketball legend Forrest “Phog” Allen.
Allen shut down Wyoming, whipping the Mountain West school 49-14.
His opponent, fellow Kansas sophomore Ryan Phelps, manned the Wyoming squad.
Four of the six friends that were in attendance were backing Wyoming because they have a friend Lawrence native Jason Fender who plays for the Cowboys.
Sadly, the cornerback’s No. 5 jersey is not listed on the game’s Wyoming roster.
“I’m here to shut down the high-powered Kansas offense,” Phelps declared.
The room was silent for a moment, and then burst with laughter. Allen responded with an icy glare.
Joe Amyx, who was in attendance as Phelps’ offensive coordinator, accused Allen’s Kansas team of not being true student-athletes.
“Blake has been skipping class just to practice this game,” he said. “I guess class was optional during this practice week. It sure looked like Kansas was a lot busier having two-a-days then going to school.”
Allen ignored the criticism and scored after only two plays, charging 68 yards down the field in a mere 30 seconds. Kansas running back Reggie Duncan had an amazing run, doing more spins and bouncing around than what was seen in the entire Victoria’s Secret special.
“Too bad he doesn’t run like that in real life,” said Clint Morgan, a Kansas sophomore.
“He does if he has a purse in his hands,” said sophomore Mark Huston, referring to Duncan’s alleged legal problems.
“This game really isn’t true to life,” Phelps said. “If it were, the Jayhawks wouldn’t be able to score until the fourth quarter.”
Despite all the Jayhawk bashing, Kansas led 7-0 early. But Wyoming came right back and scored after a long drive. Wyoming went for a two-point conversion but failed.
The next Kansas possession, Harrison Hill was hit deep with a long ball. The pro-Wyoming crowd was livid, demanding the injured Hill be removed from the game. Allen gave into the pressure, and substituted defensive back Quincy Roe in at receiver and benched Hill.
It didn’t matter, as Allen went back to Duncan, throwing downfield to the running back. Another 30-yard play, and Duncan has his second TD.
Wyoming came back the next play and scored another touchdown. This time, the two point conversion was successful, and the score was tied, 14-14.
Allen kept going to the hot hand, and threw to Duncan for another touchdown.
“Man, there’s no way he can break tackles like that,” sophomore Scott Johnson said. “He must have WD-40 on his jersey.”
Kansas went to the locker room leading 21-14. KU made another big play to Hill at the start of the second half.
“Oh, what’s he doing back in the game?” Allen said wryly.
Once again, he was forced to take Hill out of the game, but he had already done significant damage with 60 yards on three receptions.
This time, it was junior fullback Mitchell Scott that scored for the Jayhawks. They led 28-14.
The Cowboys started to look ragged in the second half, and threw an early interception to Roe, who was now playing both ways.
The Wyoming fans showed that they were fair-weather, and started to leave after the interception. But they didn’t leave without first throwing beer cans and bottle caps towards Allen.
Allen knew the player that couldn’t be stopped was Duncan, and once again the running back was on the MegaVision doing a celebration dance in the end zone. It was the third quarter, and Duncan already had four touchdowns.
“It’s all right,” Phelps said, slightly disgusted. “It’s just a dumb Nintendo game.”
Wyoming threw another interception, and Amyx formerly resigned as offensive coordinator.
“I just want to disavow myself from this team,” Amyx said following the game.
Duncan found the end zone one final time for his fifth touchdown. To complete the drubbing, Byron Gasaway caught a short pass in the end zone on KU’s final possession.
Allen admitted his preparation for the game helped him put so many points on the board. Phelps was just happy to be done.
“We entered hostile territory here in Memorial Stadium,” he said. “And we threw about 9 million interceptions. We just want to go home and eat turkey.”
It may have been a long season for the real Jayhawks, but the PlayStation 2 Jayhawks finished 8-2.
