For those who say that it was the correct call and it was dead as soon as he touched it, answer me this...let's say he doesn't touch it and an LSU player dives on the ground and tries to recover it, but the ball squirts out from under him. This would be a live ball until someone possesses it. If what yall say is true then it would be dead as soon as the first player who is on the ground touches the ball, and we know that is not the case. So what's the difference?

THat's a good point. What if an LSU player dives for the ball and gets there a tenth of a second and knocks it free. Is the play really dead because he touched it?

It was a live ball, a bad call in my view..bang bang play, even in ultra slow motion is hard to make out if he's knee was touching when he actually palmed the ball to pick it up
Heck I am biased, so wrong person to ask...
game was over...
I don't see how there is enough evidence to say "hold on, time out, we have something up here in the booth, knee down, no INT"

He had control of the ball with a knee down. The rule says that's down. If he didn't control the ball, how did he throw it without ever changing hands?

I feel like I have a good grasp of all of the rules, and I was 100% certain while they were reviewing that play that he was NOT down because he did not have possession, based on EVERY other instance of what could be interpreted as possession of the ball.
Then I get drop kicked in the face with what seemed like a brand new rule, fresh out of the oven, where the QB is somehow different in that he only has to touch the ball.
IF this rule happens to be legit (which I am not certain of) then it is a stupid rule. It's completely inconsistent and irrational.

Because he didn't control it until he was standing back up. When his knee was down he was only touching the top of the ball with his fingertips.

Doesn’t matter. Rule will be interpreted in a way beneficial to support the way it was called by the officials. It’s over with. Bad luck.

If there was enough evidence to review that play, then the catch-and-fumble that was ruled incomplete DEFINITELY was worthy of a replay review.

It does matter. If the call is incorrect, then it needs to be discussed, and people need to be reprimanded for the mistake.
If you just take everything laying down, nothing ever gets corrected.
And this is not a discussion about whether or not anything is going to change the outcome of last night. We're talking about the legitimacy, or lack thereof, of the call.

for whatever reason it is seen as different because when you are on your knee you are seen as giving up, hench the play is over, where when you are laying down you arent giving up so you must gain possession to be called down
we all agree its a stupid rule and there really is no difference, you "should" have to have possession for either to end the play

BS, slow motion replay clearly shows he had 2 fingers on top of the ball, knee came off ground as a 3rd finger touched ball and as he stood up he then palmed it and picked it up. it was a turnover and he wasnt down.

Don’t holders have control with their knee down and they are allowed to get up for a pass or fake?

Well said.
