Ok, I stand corrected. I saw it once before ( 
) because I remember that. Still think that was shitty, too. Should be out of bounds where he touched it in that case.
Again, it seems like a concept/interpretation of possession problem. The player possessed the ball (on the kickoff) out of bounds. He chose to do that and shouldn’t have been rewarded IMO.

I agree, it's a weird rule, and it seems to come down to a special case of changing and maintaining possession.
I think in this case if LSU had actually possessed the ball on the fumble, it would've then been LSU's ball, down at that spot.
Since possession did not change, it was the same result but remained Alabama's ball.
quote:
A player with one foot out of bounds behind a goal line touches a loose ball in the field of play.
RULING: Ball is out of bounds and dead at its most forward point in the field of play. If this loose ball was an untouched free kick, it is a free kick out of bounds and a foul.
