Having both hands on something means you posessess it. The fumbling team should never benefit from this.

By rule a ball must be “firmly grasped” to he possessed.

But that is irrelevant, because the ruling on the field was that he did not possess it at that time. That happened around 1:20ish left in second.

Ruling was fumble recovered by LSU AT 1:17 left in second quarter.

Apparently not, since the TV Officiating Expert immediately called what the ruling was going to be, then the Replay Officials independently came to the same conclusion. Just having two hands on the ball doesn't mean possession,does a receiver possess the ball as soon as both hands touch it, or does he have to "make a football move" as they always say?
