Charles Walker’s 64-yard punt return touchdown was one of the highlights of Kentucky’s win over New Mexico State (and my adult life). It was an explosive special teams play the team needed and it was very critical for two reasons: 1) it put the game out of reach; and 2) it was the Cats’ first return TD in six years, going all the way back to the Randall Cobb era in 2010.
Tonight, I will break down Walker’s long-awaited TD return for you in our first Inside The Play of the 2016 football season. And as someone who was on the ground floor of Walker’s Heisman campaign and has watched the replay of the return over 450 times since Saturday night, I feel I’m the most qualified to dissect it.
