The ball was almost out of bounds when he dropped it and it landed pretty far from the OOB line. The math doesn’t work for it to have gone through the end zone. Should have been an easy call.

He's totally right, but that doesn't make the rule any less stupid.
That rule has never seemed logical to me. If someone fumbles and it goes out of bounds that team maintains possession. Similarly, if a player fumbles the ball into the scoring endzone and it goes out of bounds on the side or back of the end zone, that team should maintain possession and the ball should simply be spotted at point the fumble occurred. If the defense did not recover the fumble, why should their team be given possession? And why should they get it 20 yards upfield? That rule doesn't make sense, imo.

What?Posted on 9/9/18 at 1:00 pm to pvilleguru
Read it slowly and try to visualize it. Don’t worry, you’ll get it eventually.

frick Yabo Dabo dumbass!
If the Clemson receivers weren't allowed two big pushoffs, then Aggie damn well would have won.

This is how the math shows that it's possible based on what you said. Similar triangles. If you can get the correct distances/angles, you can easily calculate where it went out of bounds.

The part that doesn’t make sense is that you can’t advance the ball on a fumble that goes out of bounds. It goes back to where the ball is fumbled.

The ball actually has a forward spiral for awhile as it approaches the pylon and then turns. It’s not as obvious as some have made it out to be and was too close to call.

LOL ! We see what we want to see. Nah, bad call.

Except that, if A&M would have scored then. And then stopped Clemson’s next possession, which they did. Their last score, FG or TD would have won the game.
What a fool statement. If aTm has tied the game, Clemson would have come out more aggressive on offense in the last minute to win it. Clemson went turtle on offense that last quarter of the game to protect a lead.

thats just something they would never overturn

He’s right but he doesn’t answer the question of the call because he knows how critical it was to the outcome of the game. I don’t blame him either.
Bottom line is though that the correct call on the field should have been that the call was out of bounds and then let the guys upstairs decide to overrule it or not.

My favorite part of this whole thing is the people saying the rule is stupid. If the offense fumbles the ball out of the back of their own endzone should they get it back at the 1? Hello no. The rule is fine, you cannot fumble it through the endzone. Either one. If the ball goes out of bounds in the endzone after a fumble is played as of the defense recovered the ball. Should I be able to fumble the ball from the 5 out of the endzone and get it at the 1?
The issue is that there needs to be enough cameras to get the calls right. There should be 2 going town either side of the goal line and the same on each sideline.

It's true. The guy extending the ball like that at the freaking 3 yard line was stupid as hell.
It woulda been first and goal, why are players so reckless to extend the ball like that around the goal line.

Actually, what IS the rule in that case? Safety?
