UW 1991 flashback: Beno Bryant is a man on a mission

Twenty-five years ago, Bryant returned a punt 53 yards for a touchdown to set UW and Pac-10 records in the Huskies' 56-3 rout of Kansas State.

A week after their tremendous comeback victory at Nebraska, the Washington Huskies hosted Kansas State for their 1991 home opener before 71,638 at Husky Stadium.

That was 25 years ago this week.

The outcome was a predictable blowout for the No. 4 Huskies, a 56-3 win highlighted by Beno Bryant’s 53-yard punt return for a touchdown.

It was Bryant’s fourth career punt-return TD, then a school and Pac-10 Conference record — a UW record matched by junior receiver Dante Pettis earlier this month against Rutgers.
