My biggest problem with the play is that the call on the field was a fumble recovery (now I understand the ref who made the call on the field likely wasn’t even considering the factor of an out of bounds player touching the ball and its effect on the play; but the call is the call). So to overturn that they had to find conclusive evidence the LSU player did not possess the ball before the out of bounds Alabama player touched it. Considering he had two hands on the ball with a knee down, that seems a difficult conclusion to reach. Same as to whether the LSU player tipped the throw in OT. Replay was not conclusive and the call on the field has to stand.

You’re mistaken here. What was the COMPLETE call? On the field, it was ruled that: Brooks had established possession of the ball at 1:17 seconds (end of play).
The replay official would need clear evidence that Brooks had possessed it earlier to overturn the officials. Since the ball is batted and it wasn’t the rule on the field, replay appropriately thinks there is plausible evidence that it may have not been firmly in Brooks grasp until 1:17 as ruled on the field.
