re: Can we talk about the 1H fumble situation in LSU-Bama?

My issue is it allowed continuation after the play was dead. You cant say the bama played swiped it away from the lsu player, it was dead with lsu holding it. The end.

That's not what they said, they didn't let the play continue. The ruling was that the out of bounds Bama player touched the ball prior to the LSU player gaining full possession. Just because the LSU player touched the ball with both hands didn't mean that he had control of it. The ball was dead once it was touched by the out of bounds player. Since it was touched by an ineligible player, the ball was dead at that point, and possession remained with the last team that possessed the ball (Alabama).
