Except when it’s a pass?
You must be trying to increase clicks on this site.
You have to CATCH the ball on a pass after stepping out of bounds for it to be illegal touching. The rule you are citing isn't even close to being relevant to the play.
If you simply touch the ball while out of bounds, then the ball will be incomplete and out of bounds, as it touched something that was out of bounds.
If someone has possession of the ball, then what matters if it the player possessing the ball is out of bounds. But when the ball is not in possession, such as a fumble or pass - if it touches anything out of bounds, the ball is considered out of bounds and the play is over at the point.
Always been the rule, always will be the rule.
Hell, the fricking ref on TV last night even fully explained what happened and yet following that bit was apparently beyond your mental capabilities.

There are two serious fallacies in this argument that you haven't addressed. The image linked below shows that Greg Brooks of LSU clearly has both hands on the ball with possession while both of his knees are down. This is BEFORE anyone else has touched the ball. If we're "calling by the letter of the rules" that kills the play at that point and it's LSU's ball. Replays showed that Brooks didn't start to lose possession of the ball until after Cameron Latu knocks it from his hands while he's out of bounds. Your own argument states the the play is dead at that point, so again it's LSU's ball as Brooks has possession at that point.
Therefore, you've argued incessantly over a play that has proven you wrong TWICE.
Most impressive.
