LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville running back Anthony Allen will transfer after being granted a release from the program.

Allen set the school's single-game rushing record with 275 yards against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 6.

Louisville spokesman Rocco Gasparro said Thursday that Big East rules prohibit Allen from transferring to another school in the league. Gasparro also said Louisville will not release Allen to any school on its schedule in the next three years or to Arkansas.

Former Louisville coach Bobby Petrino is now the head coach at Arkansas.

Allen led the Cardinals in rushing last season with 696 yards.

I believe TD did say he was interested in recruiting another RB or two. Would a transfer make sense? Instant impact but short stay. I like the idea. A good RB helps the passing game, and a good passing game helps a good RB. Rocket science huh?

I thought we were set at RB, with Micah and Cam plus a redshirt or two. Still, the thought of another RB that could nail a blitzing defender is very pleasant.

We're talking about a DI transfer he'd have to sit out a year. I'd never turn down talent but I hope Mosley, Montgomery(if he gets the medical redshirt), Dunbar and anyone else we recruit this year and next can carry the load in 09.

A good running game helps a not so great defense also.

Well it looks like everyone here agrees having a good running game is a good thing. Now that we've covered that what do you think about having a good passing game, defense or speacial teams as for me I'm for all of them.

If Allen doesn't fit into Steve Kragthorpe's system then I can't see him fitting into Todd Dodge's either. Besides, Anthony Allen is from Florida; why would he want to come here?
