o.k. That makes sense. I thought the rule was otherwise (I cold swear that years ago the rule was otherwise) but at least that makes sense.
I understand the rule, and understand it's not a fumble or a safety, just stating my opinion that the rule should be changed to place the ball where contact was made, that's all. But alas, my opinion doesn't mean jack in regards to the CFB rule book.Contact was not possession. And therefore, no fumble. Too much subjectivity as to what they "attempted." The rule is black/white. Covered in endzone by receiving team = TB. 25 yard line.
