He's not trying to illustrate anything other than his own bias. That's why he removes all context in the plays and tries to frame everything as being what a simple image is.

The LSU player did not have control or possession of the ball in the OP's image. If it was a gif, it would show him bobbling the ball trying to scoop it up. Even in the still image, you can see the tips of his fingers aren't even wrapped around the ball.

So all I see in this thread are LSU fans who don't give a shite about reality, and just want to cry about the refs.

It's amazing how quickly people are to make themselves the victims regardless of actual reality.

The actual rule that's been in football since before I, or anyone else on this forum was born, is that if the ball touches ANYTHING out of bounds, then the ball is also out of bounds at that moment.

The only exception to this rule is if someone is in bounds while having possession. AKA, you can't stand out of bounds and touch a ball that someone has in their possession and it be out of bounds. However, if it's a pass and you are out of bounds and you touch the ball before the reception is made, then the ball will be incomplete and out of bounds.

Yet I don't think any of you really even remotely give a shite about the actual rules here.
