The solution is simple. Instead of making the touch rule apply beyond the LOS, make it apply beyond the 1st down marker. The punting team should only be able to get a 1st down if the ball is advanced beyond the 1st down marker.

The solution is simple.
Educate players not to make a bonehead play by touching the ball when it is past the LOS.
Sour grapes from fans who are blaming long standing rules for their team's failure ..........
