Apparently, it got even rougher for UK punter Matthew Panton. According to Jen Smith of the Lexington Herald-Leader, Panton was arrested and charged with public intoxication on Saturday after a 37-34 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels.
Smith also obtained a statement from a UK spokesman, who said “We are aware of the situation and we will address it on Monday.”
I doubt this is enough to earn Panton a serious punishment, at least as long as this is his first infraction of any kind. He may not be the starting punter next Saturday when UK faces the Vanderbilt Commodores, but he has easily been the best punter on this team between him and Grant McKinniss.
