In a surprising twist, UCLA Bruin football alum Oluwafemi Oladejo found himself in the end zone for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in the Titans’ 26-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Oladejo gave the Titans the lead with the fourth quarter score.
It was Tennessee’s first win of the season and they needed the special teams touchdown to get it done. Oladejo’s first career touchdown came off of a blocked punt by the Titans, that Oladejo scooped up and ran in for an easy touchdown.
