I still say the rules need changing- when the whistle blows all play should end period.
This. I think Florida should have gotten a chance to get the ball, but the refs ruined the play and then gave the ball to them to make up for it.

Holy shite this thread is full of some of the worst fricking posters this board has to offer. Nobody contests that it wasn't a fumble. Everyone believes it was a fumble. What do you dumbasses not understand about that? The OP's question was based on the fact that the official was blowing his whistle and calling the play dead before anyone on the opposing team had actually recovered the ball. When there is a false start penalty do we go and nail the quarterback because maybe the officials had made a mistake? No, the play is blown dead and you stop play. Likewise, the same idea should apply at any other point when the official blows the play dead.
Basically, the opposing team is given virtual carte blanche to recover the ball and the only thing they can't do is advance it. How fricking stupid is that? And to the poster that said the guy would have run for 40 yards, maybe he would have. Or maybe he would have fumbled it as well or some other crazy thing would have happened. The fact of the matter is that we don't know, the official blowing the play dead is a dumbass, and the play should have continued.
