My point is that there was no fair catch call wahsoever. An arm MUST be raised or signal made in order to make a fair catch.
There was none whatsoever... and thus Clemson is not afforded any "first touch" protection. JMHO

Not sure this is true. I think if the ball is kicked into the air and never touches the ground, then the receiving team player must be given an opportunity to catch the ball whether he signals fair catch or not.
Problem is, the receiving team didn't have a player there.

A fair catch doesn't give you a special right. You can't drill an onside catch receiver. Bama didn't drill anyone

That is absolutely correct. Once the ball crossed the 45 and remained beyond the 45, it's a free ball, provided a Clemson player doesn't signal for a fair catch.
