re: Did out of bounds Bama player have to reestablish himself to become a legal participant

The rule was applied correctly. A Bama player with his foot out of bounds touched the ball so the ball is out of bounds. That was not the problem with the call. The problem was that LSU did have possession, (then with knee down or not down), the play was over when Alabama touched the ball. LSU did have possession. The problem is whether LSU had possession or not. The problem is not with the oob player touching the ball.
