re: When does possession start on a fumble recovery? Mond vs Brooks and SEC refs

The replay official subjectively ruled that the LSU player did not have "possession" of the ball. He needed irrefutable video evidence to make that conclusion. If he didn't have it the call on the field stands.

Who is that official and what was his reasoning behind the criteria he relied on to make the no possession determination and how does he explain the difference between this ruling and the Mond ruling?

Inquiring minds want to know.

And while he's at it I'd also like to hear him explain how he did not see irrefutable video evidence of the finger-tipped pass which should have negated the PI? The ESPN video replay expert saw it on the very first replay and made an immediate (correct) ruling??

Funny how those things seem to happen in Alabama games more than others???
