I think the idea was to prevent a decent return. Had one of the Kentucky players fallen on it, they probably would have just run out the clock.
If the Kentucky players fielded it they would have needed about 10 yards for a field goal. I think it was a combination of bad coaching and bad execution. Overall though, special teams get an A for the game

I'm talking about one of the last couple of players. As I said, I don't think it was designed to be available to some of the more up-field players, although there was enough crazy bounce to it that it made it difficult to field.

10 yards? no.

And, the intent wasn't for the ball to end up where it ended up. It just wasn't kicked hard enough and took a funny bound (which is why we ended up recovering it).

In other words, it was an ok decision that was executed poorly that turned out to work for us.
