"I think any explosive plays get the sideline going, gets everybody feeling good about what going on," said Pettis, who also returned a punt for a touchdown against Rutgers last season. His 51-yard catch set up the first of three field goals by Tristan Vizcaino and his catches of 10 and 24 yards ignited an early third-quarter drive that Browning capped with a 7-yard swing pass to halfback Lavon Coleman for a 17-7 lead. A senior receiver, Pettis actually set up the Huskies' first three scores this season. "I misjudged it a little bit, and then dropped it, didn't really panic, looked straight up the field and my guys did a great job of just clearing everybody out." Anderson said his punt was supposed to go out of bounds and he did not execute trying to rush it. "Whenever a punter is backed up for some reason they always boom the ball, so he kicked it 55, 60 yards or something," Pettis said. Pettis tied former California star DeSean Jackson's Pac-12 career record for punt returns for scores. The Huskies, who led Rutgers 24-0 after the first quarter of a 48-13 home win a year ago, were danger of going to the locker room down 7-3 when Pettis fielded Ryan Anderson's punt down the middle of the field and scored on 61-yard return that put Washington in front 10-7 with 3:50 left in the half. ![]()
