UConn PR Deshon Foxx looks for the end zone ahead of him in the third quarter against the Stony Brook Seawolves on September 6, 2014 at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT.
With the UConn Huskies offense struggling most of the game, they needed a big play from someone otherwise they may have found themselves in an even tighter spot then they were already in.
Enter Deshon Foxx.
After Stony Brook Seawolves punter Luke Allen outkicked his coverage, Foxx picked up a fortunate bounce to grab the ball and take it to the house for a 72 yard punt return for a touchdown. It was UConn’s first punt return for a score since Nick Williams took one 80 yards against Pittsburgh on Nov. 9, 2012.
Watch below as head coach Bob Diaco and Foxx talk about the punt return:
