Compare last night’s play and the Kellen Mond play and tell me there isn’t intentional ambiguity in the rulebook to control outcomes.

One hand on top of the ball for a split second versus 2 hands on either side of the ball for a touch longer than a split second.

I think comparing it to the kellen mond play is the best example. If mond had possession, we certainly did last night

Big difference, KM originally possessed the ball, fumbled it, then repossessed it.

Last night, ball was fumbled. If he is possessing the ball then the whistle would blow the play dead and LSU would attain possession.

That is never the case with a fumbled ball. If the situation was the same in the middle of the field (away from the sidelines) and as the LSU player placed two hands on the ball, a bama player fell on the ball and pulled the ball into his chest, who does the possession go to?
