This is not a problem with Kentucky only. I've watched a lot of college football so far this year and have noticed many punts that should've been fielded.
When the punt is going to the short side and coverage will obviously be there, you need to field the fair catch and not allow the team to back you up . The old rule is insides the ten you let it go. I'm seeing lots of punts hit the ground way before the 10.
I think the first score for South Carolina is on Timmons too. I've heard about Pat's throw, Swindle's blocking, and Baker's drop. If he would've attempted to field the punt we wouldn't of been that backed up to begin with.
