We’re down to 78 days to go until Penn State’s 2025 season begins, and today we remember the 78-yard punt return touchdown that Derrick Williams scored against Notre Dame in 2007.
Trailing 7-0 with just over a minute left in the first quarter, the #14 Nittany Lions forced a punt against Notre Dame. DWill caught the ball at the 22 yard line, sidestepped a tackle, caught a couple blocks up the right sideline, then cut it back toward the left side of the field. Another missed tackle and a couple more blocks later, and Williams slipped past the punter into the endzone.
