From the link JaxTigah provided:
quote:
c. Live ball ruled dead in possession of a runner when the clear recovery of a loose
ball occurs in the immediate continuing action following the loose ball.
1. If the ball is ruled dead and the replay official does not have indisputable video evidence as to which team recovers, the dead-ball ruling stands.
2. If the replay official rules that the ball was not dead, it belongs to the recovering team at the spot of the recovery and any advance is nullified.
Not sure if these are quotes from an official rule book are not but they're leave a lot of ambiguity on the field. I mean, how long is the "immediate continuing action" allowed? Had the UF player's first attempt to recover it been bobbled, is he allowed a second attempt? Could an LSU player approaching the play get in on the action?

The rule used to be that once the ref blew the whistle the play was dead and the ball would have gone back to the last possessing team.
I guess the rule was changed when they went to replay review.
Terrible rule and potentially invites injury.
