Penn State Football vs Auburn – Nittany Lions that Need to Step Up
By Nick Kreiser
Penn State Football Jahan Dotson (punt returner)/Devyn Ford (kick returner)
Both of these players have done well so far in their respective roles on special teams so far this season, but if one (or both) of them could find a crease and break off a long return for a touchdown this weekend, it would really get that White Out crowd fired up.
Maybe Penn State comes out flat offensively and they struggle to get much going, similar to the Wisconsin game. If that is the case, a kick return or a punt return for a touchdown would be a huge momentum builder. Even if it is not returned for a touchdown, a big return to give the Penn State offense good starting field position, would also be great.
On top of all of that, in any game, it is always great to be able to steal a quick seven points. In big games, it is the little things, such as special teams, that can make a big difference. A great night from the Penn State Football return men would go a long way towards helping the Nittany Lions get the win over Auburn, and starting the season 3-0 with wins over two ranked opponents.
