Let’s say Brooks recovers a fumble in the middle of the field and returns it for a big gain or TD. Upon review they notice his knee was down simultaneously with his grasping the ball. You know damn well he would’ve been called down there. No “football move” to prove possession, subjective nonsense required.

It seems unseemly to have it that a ball can be dead and possession retained by a player merely touching the loose ball.

I am happy as I can be that it did not cost LSU victory.

Rule should say that once the fumbled ball is touched by an in bounds player, then an out of bounds player must re-establish in bounds to make a play on the ball. Penalty would be 10 yards illegal touching.

If fumbling team recovers, they keep the ball with a 10 yard penalty from the line of scrimmage. If defense recovers, add in 10 yards. If the fumbler touches it before anyone else while he is out of bounds, then it’s dead just like the current rule. I think that is fair.

That's the main point to me, that there was not clear video evidence that the call should have been overturned.

Unlike in the fingertip review where you can clearly see the finger moving backwards as a result of the tip.

The football rules regarding sidelines are somewhat dumb. My biggest issue is that balls clearly within the field of play can be made artificially out of bounds simply because a player that shouldn’t be off the field uses leaving the field of play to their advantage. It’s rewarding leaving the field.

Player taking advantage of bad sideline rules

Reminded me of NFL returners taking advantage of bad rules to gain advantage when balls aren’t going out of bounds but they manipulate an out of bounds penalty.
