For Dante Pettis, Aaron Fuller’s punt return touchdown felt oddly familiar.
Pettis — now a second-year wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers — scored the first of an NCAA record nine punt return touchdowns in a 38-23 win at Colorado on Nov. 1, 2014. Early in the fourth quarter, the UW freshman caught a punt at his 13-yard line, cut right along the edge, followed a cavalcade of blockers and coasted into the end zone for an 87-yard score.
Fuller, meanwhile, scored his first career punt return touchdown in a 45-19 win at BYU on Sept.
