That safety that never happened was one of the most embarrassing officiating blunders ever. Of course it ends in major favor for Alabama. This is SEC football. Welcome Texas!
Ball rolled out the end zone. He wasn’t down when he tossed/fumbled the ball. If Texas had fallen on it, it would have been a TD.
Safety and or intentional grounding. Which would be a safety in that case.
The fact that the "pass" did not make it back to the line of scrimmage and he threw it out of bounds which makes it grounding and Bama is just lucky enough that the referees were so stupid they didn't realize it.
I thought the "pass" went out of bounds in the end zone. But on second view, maybe it didn't. Either way, it's at the very least intentional grounding, which if occurs in the endzone, is a safety.
If it went out of bounds, it's a safety.
Deflected off Texas player’s helmet. So that’s an incomplete pass. Not a fumble. If you want to say grounding, I’d understand. But it’s not a fumble.
