Beckham fumble????

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I didn't find it in search...
Could someone explain what the rule is when the officials blow the play dead while a fumble is still rolling on the ground?
I just watched a replay of the game and that's exactly what happened when Beckham fumbled. The ref blew the play dead while the ball was still rolling on the ground.
It was only after that, that the Florida player recovered.
If a referee blows the play dead while the ball is still rolling on the ground, shouldn't it go to the team that last possessed it prior to the "inadvertant" whistle?

It is bullshite. But it was a a fumble. The rule (at least in the NFL) is a clear recovery. You could argue things may have turned out differently, but it was a pretty clear recovery.

I was wondering the same thing. Also, I have a serious concern about our youth that a 5 sentence paragraph is too long to read.

No. And I would have felt bad if this was the case. Florida deserved to get the ball there.

They can overturn a fumble on review if it is obvious who recovers it even with a blown whistle.

I don't know the answer to your question, but he was waving the ball around like a loaf of bread before the tackle. Fundamentals. Attention to detail. They matter.

I was/am confused by the ruling as well. No doubt OBJ fumbled before he was down. But in this case the ref on site was already signalling the end of the play before UF recovered; poor officiating.
So how long after a play has been blown dead are the players allowed to continue playing?

I remember Beckham quit after the whistle blew. Don't remember if the Fla guy fell on it or picked it up and started running. If he was running Beckham could have stripped the ball from him. Not sure if this was what you were asking.

The corporate banking fascist elite ruled it Florida's ball...

It hurt FL more than us, limiting a return. They have a more legit complaint regarding the rule
