It was the correct call. But it’s a bullshite rule that hopefully will be changed

LINK . I think this states out of bounds player is out of the conversation. He definitely didn't establish himself back.

I had the game on in the background while I had guests over, and had no idea why they made the call they made.. Looked like LSU's ball to me?

#1 do you understand the rule?


I spent a lot of time searching the NCAA rulebook and there is no specific rule that addresses this play. The issue of the OOB player touching the unpossessed ball is clear - dead ball.

The issue here is that if Brooks was ruled a runner because when he touched the ball with both hands and no knee on the ground the OOB player does not make him down and he is live.

f Brooks had the ball initially with both hands and knee down the play is dead with LSU posssession if you agree with the Kellan Mond ruling from 2018.

My issue is it allowed continuation after the play was dead. You cant say the bama played swiped it away from the lsu player, it was dead with lsu holding it. The end.

It wasn’t a miss call, that rule doesn’t apply to the play and it isn’t even why they reviewed it initially. The league office cheated for Alabama again but not even the refs could save them Saturday.

This has been a good discussion on a very weird/unique situation and rule. My opinion….Whether good or bad for my team in the future, I think *if the offense fumbles the ball in bounds and the defense recovers the fumble in bounds, the defense should get the ball*. ETA: if they just added an asterisk like this, would anyone have an issue with it?

In this particular instance of football rules and reviews, I think “rules” and the application are overriding common sense.
