TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — No. 2 Alabama’s Javier Arenas set a Southeastern Conference record with his seventh punt return for a touchdown.

Arenas sprinted down the right sideline for a 66-yard score early in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Chattanooga.

He was tied with Kentucky’s Derek Abney, who returned six punts for scores from 2000-03. Abney also scored on a two kick returns, leaving Arenas still one TD shy of the overall record for returns.
