As a result of the fight and charges, Allen was suspended by Syracuse for the entirety of the 2023 season. On June 26, 2023, Allen filed a lawsuit against the university to have his suspension overturned and his record expunged.

Allen scored four touchdowns, gained 129 all-purpose yards, and won the game on the final play in the overtime by bulldozing his way into the end zone through star UNLV linebacker Jackson Woodard.
