To those saying Brooks didn’t have possession

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.
The call on the field was that LSU recovered the ball. It should have absolutely stood regardless of that rule, because in every other instance, that is possession

I don’t understand the relevance of your hypothetical.

Watch the replay on YouTube at .25 speed. It was the right call because Brooks never did secure it even though I thought otherwise last night.

I just don’t understand how that’s not possession if the A&M QB having a hand on top of ball was possession in the 7 OT game.

Somebody always has to drop a steamer on the party.

Counter argument: Let’s say the exact play we saw happens in the middle of the field, but the Alabama player actually recovers it inbounds after it bobbles out of Brooks’ hands. Do you think they call that a recovery by LSU (e.g. they say Brooks had recovered and was down) or a recovery by Alabama?
Without getting into the actual letter of the rule again.. Based on all of the loose ball plays I’ve seen over the years, I don’t think they call it dead in this scenario even though Brooks has two hands on it and a knee down. I’ve just seen too many cases where it’s still considered a loose ball, regardless of whether the player’s knee is down, until someone actually tucks it.
That being said - yes, in your scenario I think we probably get screwed as well. Though a lot would depend on whether the ref blows the whistle, since at that point it’s dead and can’t be reviewed further.
Before someone asks me, I don’t think Kellen Mond should have been called down either.

There is a thread discussing this and you decide what you have to say is so important it needs its own thread to talk about what’s been said in another thread?

Correct, Brooks recovered the ball, possessing it securely with two hands and his knee on the ground, thus ending the play before the TE ever touched the ball.

It’s a stupid rule and should be revised but rules is rules
The worse call was the no tip

The ruling was the man that fumbled went out of bounds and then while out of bounds touched the ball it was automatically a dead ball at that point.
That is some obscure bull sheet. Is there a reference to this ruling in their page book?

Kellen Mond says high!

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.
