But possession also does not simply mean having the ball in your hands. If it did, knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands in the endzone would still result in a TD. And knocking a ball out of a receiver’s hands anywhere else on the field would result in a fumble.
Isn't this supposed rule saying it's out of bounds because the player possesed the ball while out of bounds so it's dead?
How is simply touching the ball possession for 1 player but 2 hands on the ball not possession for the other?

What? Nobody is saying the Bama player who touched the ball while being OOB possessed the ball.

Different rule.
The rule you’re talking about is saying it’s out of bounds because if a loose ball touches anything out of bounds (including a player) it’s dead. That part is pretty cut and dry.
The question is whether it was still a loose ball at the point when the Bama player touched it. And THAT part comes down to whether Brooks had established possession of the ball before the Bama player touched it.
