Starks records pick-six in final home game
Stars aligned for Donnie Starks on Saturday.
The senior notched his first collegiate pick-six in the second quarter against Kansas, his last game in Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
“When I caught it, after two steps, I was like, ‘Wow, I’m really about to score,’’ Starks said. “I had nothing but green in front of me, and once I scored, I was too excited. And then I thought about my family who came out to support me, so I wanted to point at them to give them recognition for being there.”
It’s something he was beginning to think might never happen. Before last week’s game against Baylor, Starks had yet to record a collegiate interception. But he picked up two against the Bears.
