Cal vs. Colorado: Keenan Allen Heisman Watch Week 2: 10, 186, 2 TDs

Keenan Allen leaves 'em grabbing for air. 
Cal Football Freshman Wide Receiver Keenan Allen's second game in College Football was as impressive as his first one, but in a way you'd not have expected.

Rather than being the big play receiver against Colorado, where Cal won 52 to 7 Saturday, Allen was the one moving the chains. He had 6 receptions for 66 yards and an 11 yard average. In fact, the one big play, a lovely 62 yard bomb, came from QB Kevin Riley to Junior Wide Receiver Marvin Jones.

But Keenan Allen was the leading receiver.

In total, so far, Allen has 10 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns. How does he compare with his older teammate Jones? Jones has 8 catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns.

Overall, according to ESPN, Allen is the 26th ranked receiver in the nation. But in looking at the overall statistics, guess what? Kevin Riley's the number two quarterback in America in College Football.

That's something to rave about, and for a Cal QB that fans are at times, a bit too hard on.

But this is the big leagues. It ain't Intramurals, brother!
