BALLAGE BARRAGE

-

Miami got a fourth-round pick from Philadelph­ia as part of the trade that sent running back Jay Ajayi to the Eagles last season. With that No. 131 selection, the Dolphins took another running back, Kalen Ballage from Arizona State, who made headlines in 2016 when he scored eight touchdowns in a win over Texas Tech. Yes, eight touchdowns. In that 68-55 victory at home, Ballage rushed for seven touchdowns on 13 attempts, gaining 137 yards. He also caught a touchdown pass. That rushing total included a 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that gave him a tie for the NCAA record with Howard Griffith, who scored eight touchdowns for Illinois in a 1990 victory over Southern Illinois.
