Apparently not. The entire scenario makes no sense.

No. The rule is stupid and was applied correctly.

Rule needs changed.

If he would have come back in bounds then he would have had to reestablish himself before being the first one to touch the ball.

He did not in this scenario because he was out of bounds and did not come back in bounds and also because he was not the first one to touch the ball. The LSU player was already touching the ball.

The rule is dumb but was enforced correctly.

Here's what I love about it.

If you're standing on the sideline - whether you're a player in the game or not in the game, or a coach, or a GA, or a trainer, or just a fan - and see your team fumble the ball and an opposing player about to recover it, just reach out and touch the ball before anyone else does and it's your ball right there.

Well, if you're not in the game maybe after a penalty - but it's YOUR BALL!

Is this not the implication of that rule?

Re-establishment only applies to catching a pass.

It should be that if you’re out of bounds, you’re out of the play and if you touch the ball, it doesn’t matter.

There isn’t a rule To reestablish in this scenario

The only thing lsu fans can question is the conclusiveness of what they saw on replay as it must be certain to overturn.

Referees were sloppy and inconsistent calling the game Saturday and this is an example of that, but the ruling was technically correct, and the ruling required judgement from the booth

No. He was forced out by the defender during the initial contact.

That entire episode was informed completely by tortured logic. "Did not complete the possession."

Lsu had possession. Didn't matter if he touched it.

Can you without a doubt confirm he touched it?
Without a doubt lsu didn't have possession?

The point you're missing is tha the Bama player touched WHILE HE WAS OUT OF BOUNDS. Dead ball. That's always been the rule, and it's a fine rule.

'Re-establishing" has to do with making a reception or establishing possession. That happens AFTER a player went out and then came back in.

Get over it. It was an unfortunate call, but the right one.

Yes. He was an illegal participant. That's the whole point. It's a dead ball immediately when someone out of bounds touches the ball.

look, I'd never heard of that rule, but it's apparently what it is. The TV rules analyst immediately called it, so he knows the rule.

The Bama guy touched was OB and touched the ball (yes, before our player had possession) so it's a dead ball and goes back to the offense.

Stupid rule, in my opinion, but it seems to be correctly applied. I do hope they change it in the off-season, because it seems very unfair.

That rule doesn’t apply in that situation. It’s why sometimes you will see a kick returner lay out of bounds on a kickoff and field the kick, it is ruled an out of bounds kick and they receiving team would get the ball at the 35 yard line

He wasn’t a legal participant when he touched the ball. He became an extension of that sideline and therefore the ball was also considered OB at that spot.
