Dante Pettis tied the Pac-12 record for punt return touchdowns in the season opener and broke it in the second game.

The senior now has his sights on the NCAA mark.

Pettis has returned seven punts for scores during his standout career and looks to match the all-time record shared by Texas Tech's Wes Welker and Oklahoma's Antonio Perkins when the No. 6 Huskies host Fresno State on Saturday.

Pettis returned a punt 61 yards for a touchdown against Rutgers and followed up with a 67-yard score last Saturday against Montana.

"Every time you're out there, at least I'm out there, I think I'm going to return it for a touchdown," Pettis told reporters.
