The Washington Football team needed a reminder of just how good they can be. Dante Pettis did his best to remind them. Running a punt back for a touchdown is one of the most difficult outcomes in collegiate football. Until today, the record for punts returned for a touchdown stood at eight. Three players held that record jointly. Washington’s Dante Pettis, Oklahoma’s Anthony Perkins, and Texas Tech’s Wes Welker.
Two’s company, three’s a crowd. Dante Pettis felt crowded.
The play started with Oregon’s possession at fourth down and four to go on the Oregon 32 yard line.
