It was only a matter of time before former ASU running back Kalen Ballage had his moment in the NFL.
The Miami Dolphins rookie had it Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Ballage rushed for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the second half, the first touchdown and longest run of his NFL career.

The carry helped push Ballage over the 100-yard rushing mark on the day.
The opportunity was afforded to the seldom-used Ballage after Dolphins starting running back Frank Gore was injured in the first half.
Ballage, a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, entered Sunday’s game with 8 carries for 11 yards on the season.
He’s certainly used to piling up the rushing yardage and touchdowns, however.
Ballage is known for rushing for seven touchdowns in a game against Texas Tech in 2016.
