I thought you can only move a fumble forward if you go get your own fumble ?? If another player on your team gets it doesn’t it come back to spot of fumble?

Either way that was horse shite a call as I’ve ever seen

Why don’t teams just fumble forward to their own teammate, get it… first down every time??!

That is my understanding as well. From the fumblerooski play in the NFL.

So teams can just intentionally fumble it forward to their teammate whenever?

It looked like barely a forward pass. But even if a fumble, no one went to recover it so it should go back to spot of fumble, yes?

Texas getting the bama treatment AGAIN.

You can advance a fumble... Unless it's fourth down

That’s only on 4th down.

I think they got it wrong . It was an incomplete pass.

And even if it is a fumble, which it wasn’t, it should come back to spot of fumble IMO. Dumb rule if you can just fumble forward and first down if your guy gets it

I was thinking the same thing

Ball should come back to point of fumble if it was actually a fumble
