The ball is possessed by the runner in your scenario. The rule applies to a ball that is not in possession. Remember the Patrick Peterson int that was overturned? Same rule was applied because Amari Cooper allegedly touched the ball while out of bounds simultaneously as PP caught it.

The replay clearly shows Brooks has his hands around the football and the the out of bounds player swipe at it to knock it loose. I don’t understand how you say Brooks didn’t have possession.

What was the rule of possession they needed?

99 out of 100 refs would have let LSU have the possession

I still can't believe Alabama got to retain possession after fumbling the ball...we recovered it in bounds!


I have yet to hear an explanations about why we did not get the ball. Fumble. LSU recovery. Case closed.

Think of it this way, The ball was fumbled. If Brooks is possessing the ball when he puts two hands on it, then the whistle would blow the play dead and LSU would attain possession.

That is never the case with a fumbled ball. If the situation was the same in the middle of the field (away from the sidelines) and as the ball is fumbled, the LSU player placed two hands on the ball, then a bama player fell on the ball and pulled the ball into his chest, who does the possession go to?

The ball was not possessed just because he had his hands on it.
