Is a key part of this that the ball goes out of bounds? The ball never went out of bounds and no one picked it up when it was laying there…..


that is what I understand. IF lsu had jumped on it, it would have been a touchback and lsu's ball on the 20.

This is correct and if Iowa had jumped on it it would have been a TD. None of this explains why the Refs blew a play dead when the ball was live and clearly in bounds and live and not in possession of a player from either team. We see this from time to time on screen passes or bubble screens when the pass is a lateral and not a forward pass. The players from one or both teams think the ball is incomplete when in fact it is actually live. I can't recall which game it was but this just happened in the last week or so and a player pick it up and ran it for a TD. The fact that is being overlooked is that the play should have never been blown dead.
