quote:If two hands grasping the ball with a knee down isn’t showing complete possession than what does? The bama player came from out of bounds and knocked it out of LSU players hands AFTER LSU player possessed the ball. This is the exact type of call that hosed us on the Patrick Peterson interception against bama and the refs on that game.
The LSU player didn't show complete possession of the ball.

Maintaining it long enough to make a football move.
Here’s one way to think about it: If it had been an INT instead of a fumble recovery.. did he have control of the ball long enough for it to be a catch + fumble if he lost it?
Yes? Then he had possession.
No? Then he didn’t have possession.
The knee being down makes absolutely no difference with regards to whether or not we had possession.
Two hands on the ball is only one part of having possession. You have to maintain control just as long as you would on a catch.
