This is simple AF, and the replay refs made a great call. When a player is out of bounds, he is part of the sidelines, and when a live ball touches the sidelines the play is over.

Was that a live ball? YES

Was the Bama player part of the sidelines by reason of being in contact with it? YES

Did that live ball touch the sidelines? YES

The play is over.

But the LSU player had possession

If a defensive player stands with one toe out of bounds and touches the running back with the ball with one finger as he speeds by, is the ball down there?

If a player out of bounds gets one finger on the ball as the back runs by, is he down?

Just because you touch the ball with 2 hands, doesn’t mean you possess the ball. Yes Brooks touched the ball with both hands, and illegal touch also occurred. It’s clear on replay possession did not occur until after that.

Rule by the book was interpreted correctly.
