Buffs Familiar With Pettis' Punt Return Talents

Buffs punter Alex Kinney will have the task of kicking to Washington's Dante Pettis this week.

BOULDER — Nobody has to tell Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre about the punt return skills of Washington's Dante Pettis.

Pettis last weekend tied the NCAA career record for punt return touchdowns when he returned a kick 77 yards for a score against Fresno State. It was Pettis' eighth career punt return touchdown and his third this season, with one in each of Washington's first three games.

But MacIntyre didn't need to look at this year's film to see Pettis' talents.
