St. Lawrence University senior Tyler Burns had a career-best 52-yard punt return in Saturday's 35-21 win over Rensselaer, which helped set up the Saints' fifth touchdown of the day. Early in the fourth quarter, Burns received a punt at the Saints' 45-yard line and returned it all the way to the Engineers' 3-yard line. St. Lawrence scored on the very next play to take a 35-0 lead. Burns finished the day with 68 yards on two punt returns. He also caught a pooch kickoff in the fourth quarter, made a tackle on a kickoff return in the second quarter, and was the holder on PAT attempts, with the Saints going 5-for-5 on the day.
