You're looking at whether it touched the ground as he rolled over.

I think the refs called the fact that the point hits on initial contact with the ground after he'd been bobbling it on the way down.

I think they deemed that a lack of "control"

And the point most certainly DOES hit the ground on initial contact.

That said. I kinda think it should have been called a catch. But, the problem is, to OVERTURN, you need absolute confirmation.

How? The rule is you have to maintain control all the way to the ground or make a football move after gaining control. He did neither, so your assessment supports the rule as it was called.
