I'm surprised so many are focusing on whether it was a fumble and not whether it was recovered in bounds. They called it a fumble on the field so that it could all play out, just in case it really was one, as they're taught to do. It wasn't clearly a pass, so the call stood. It's not uncommon to see a fumbled ball travel forward like that. The ball comes out right before the arm starts moving forward, and so it's close enough that the forward swinging hand slaps/punches it forward, and at first glance it looks like a pass. I don't have a problem with that layer of the ruling. I'm still at a total loss, though, as to how they couldn't have noticed the defender's toe on the sideline when he brought the ball in.
I think what angered most Dawgs fans was the Refs gave Young the benefit of a doubt on a very similar play but they did call intentional grounding. Had they called the same on Stetson most Dawgs fans would have been disappointed that the play happened but Not with the Refs decision. It made it look real biased on their part in favor of Bama. But oh well it’s all water under the bridge now.
I mean, I thought they got that other one right too. His arm was going forward before the ball came out. But you're right - who cares, we won!
Yep, that was huge, but MG avoids saying anything good about Bennett.
