You see the clip of the Packers kick return guy that lays on the ground with his feet out of bounds and touches the ball that was inbounds? The ref threw a flag for kicking out of bounds.

It was explained that the return man was out of bounds and as soon as he touched the ball it too was deemed out of bounds.

Last night the Bama player was out of bounds and as soon as he touched the ball it was deemed out of bounds. If the ball was not possessed at that point it remains so. The question, for me at least is whether or not LSU had secured possession prior to him touching the ball.

And in both of these cases the player committing the illegal touching should be penalized at least and not the other team.

The rule has to be changed to punish the offending player in some form and it should be something like 10-15 yards from the previous spot. This would discourage cheap but legal loopholes that go against the spirit of the game.
