Best player in Michigan vs Ohio State game? It may have been a punter

Michigan punter Kenny Allen drew some rare praise for a kicker in a big-time college football game. 

Allen played a key role in the field position battle against Ohio State, pinning the Buckeyes inside their 20-yard line five times in seven kicks. In all, he booted for 332 yards on the day with a long of 67 yards and a critical 56-yard punt in the fourth quarter. 

The effort drew some notable praise. 

Of course, Allen can't be MVP given the Ohio State win, but it was a memorable effort. 

And, BTW, Allen doubles as the Wolverines' placekicker and knocked through two field goals, including a go-ahead kick in the second overtime.
