Penn State Football’s Top 5 Moments of the 2020 Season

No. 1.  Jahan Dotson’s 81 yard punt return touchdown vs Michigan State

After winning two straight, Penn State Football returned home a heavy favorite against the Spartans. Like most games this season, the Nittany Lion came out sleep walking in the first half and went into halftime trailing 21-10.

The offense got it rolling in the second half, while the defense put the clamps on Michigan State, allowing Penn State football to take a 32-24 lead with just over 11 minutes to go in the game. After another three and out, the Spartans punted it away.

Junior Jahan Dotson caught the punt, made a few moves and saw his lane, pointing out to blockers where he was headed. Dotson made two would be tacklers miss and took the punt back to the end zone for an 81 yard score. It was a jump off the couch moment as Dotson blazed down the sideline, as the Nittany Lions ended up winning 39-24.

When Dotson got back to the sideline his teammates carried him on their shoulders, and for the first time all year it looked like they were having fun playing the game.
