Senior Michael Allen's first collegiate punt return for a touchdown - a 65-yard score with 4:50 left in regulation - lifted the Huskies to a 24-21 come-from-behind victory at Edinboro on Saturday afternoon as Bloomsburg evened its record at 1-1 through the first two games of the season. Allen hauled in a Corey Badaracco punt at the Bloomsburg 35-yard line and went untouched 65 yards to paydirt for the longest return of his career - and his first career punt return for a score - to give the Huskies their first lead of the afternoon, 22-21, with 4:50 left. The Huskies added a two-point conversion and then were able to hold off the Fighting Scots in the closing minutes to preserve the win. Allen also led Bloomsburg with five catches for 61 yards to finish with 126 all-purpose yards on the afternoon. His longest punt return prior to Saturday's touchdown was a 63-yarder against Cheyney on September 23, 2017.
