Another unforced offensive touchback and other crazy BS

I don't understand how the officials called Morgan's fumble near the goal line a touchback, but nevertheless, if he had held onto it we have a first down at the 1 yard line. We score a TD there and we may have pulled this one out. Echoes Bama 2014 and Walker fumbling the ball near the endzone for a touchback.
What are the chances of an interception on a dump pass to the fullback?
Dominique Reed gets another blow to the head after getting carted off the field for the same thing last bowl game. Couldn't even get a targeting call to go our way even after at least 2 very iffy ones against Arkansas this year. But we can manage to get out senior ejected for spitting. WTF?
Sprinkle has not had any known off the field issues for the 6 or whatever years he's been here, but he gets caught up in some bullshite at the Belk department store for the Belk Bowl? Jesus Christ.
Pulley voluntarily steps out of bounds on the interception return when he could have turned it into an even bigger gain and potentially a TD.
We could have scooped and scored on the muffed punt or at least recovered it when we were on top of it.

That was bullshite. It was textbook targeting that I've seen confirmed 100+ times. I'm still salty about Coley's ejection for breathing on an Ole Miss receiver after an INT.

No we could not have, one cannot advance a muff. We still should have recovered easily though. Then, we probably would have ran the ball up the gut three times and punted because BB never tries to score in that situation.

We had a party at our house and we were all losing our minds about this.
What in the frick was he doing? He could have easily had 10 more yards at the very least, if not a touchdown. He had a wall of blockers in front of him. Even Cunningham on the telecast was lambasting his decision to step out of bounds when there wasn't anyone near him.

The ball went out of bounds after crossing the goal line, by rule it's a touchback

I'd have to look at it again, but did the ball roll across the goal line (loose) before going out of bounds? Last view I saw it looked like it went out before the goal line. But I may have missed a better view.
ETA: Guess it did. Last view angle didn't look like it.

Maybe, but from the replay it was not clear. The official nearest to the play on the field appeared to mark the spot where the ball went out of bounds before the goal line and waved two hands above his head. For a touchback, isn't it just one hand above the head? At the very least, replay should have taken a look at it.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about this play in regards to the outcome of the game. We scored a touchdown like 5 plays later.

He fumbled the ball across the goal line and out of bounds in the end zone. The official marks the spot of the fumble to confer with the other officials to make sure of the call. It was the correct call and just another example of Drew Morgan letting his team down last night.

Terrible decision by Austin Allen. Not only was he setting his FB up to get killed, he threw the ball entirely too hard and behind him. Austin should have thrown the ball away out of bounds and taken the down.

It was the correct call IMO. It wasn't helmet to helmet and it wasn't against a defenseless receiver. It was a good no call upon further review. He didn't launch into Reed and he did not use the forearm shiver to his head.

That is Drew Morgans fault. You can't do that shite and a senior should know better.

Im still interested in knowing the full story on this one. Seeing the list of things he supposedly took, it wasn't very much. There has to be more to this story.

I mean, we scored just a few plays later. Really does not matter.

You can't advance a muffed punt. You can advance a fumble on a punt return, but you cannot advance a muffed punt.
