They ruled it a fumble, that was they key, not that it went beyond the line of scrimmage. If it is a fumble, only the player who fumbled the ball is allowed to pick it up and advance it. If it’s a muff, anyone can pick it up. The officials originally said that it was a fumble, so it would have been a turnover on downs. Replay overturned that sayid that it was a muff so Texas was allowed to keep possession since they picked up the first down.The ref said it was fumbled or recovered beyond the LOS initially did he not?
