IDK, they ended up saying his knee was down prior to the run back. Seems to me, the play should have been over right there, prior to any live ball foul.

The foul was the foul. If it occurred before the whistle blew or after changed the call. same infraction

Once the knee touched the ground, it was considered a dead ball foul.

Nothing wrong with Loston trying to return.
Player trying to defend - bad hut though.
Correct call on penalty.

It was a dead ball foul since the play was deemed over when the knee touched. It's the same as the Copeland personal foul after the play against Alabama and was the right call. Also, quit whining because the referee called it a "block above the helmet"... he corrected it in his next breath. I guess you feel that because he "misspoke" that is the way the call should be made.
So in your own dumb-arse logic, whenever the ref points the wrong way on a turnover, we should just let that team have the ball. It's the first call that counts, right? Screw making the right call, you have to abide by the first call. Most reasonable people can understand that, but the again this is the rant.
