The worst rule in college football is making an unrecovered fumble in your opponent's end zone a touchback

We've had two of these calls so far. IMO one was justified and the other was borderline at BEST. If it's borderline, why would they toss someone?
Seeing all these lower tackles is just as scary but I guess the concussion phobia is too strong.
Why can't they just develop a helmet that works better?

So what should happen in that situation?

Don't fumble then. But some people would rather cry.

I assume you mean when a fumble goes in the endzone and out of bounds. Its an NFL rule as well, and it is the correct rule for that situation. A fumble in the endzone that continues out of the back of the endzone returns to the spot of the fumble with the offense retaining possession. The endzone fumble rules are designed to prevent intentionally fumbling forward without consequence. Seems logical to me.
And before anyone questions my intentions; yes UGA has been burned in the past on both types of situations and they were the correct call both times.
