I misread, but I watched it again today and I never saw the ball go OOB.It was without question a fumble. As Dufrene slid out of bounds at the one yard line the loose ball appeared to hit him in the elbow. The question is if the ball hits a player who is out of bounds is it a dead ball at that point? It was discussed but I do not remember if the exact rule was ever indicated. Just curious if anyone here knows? I certainly told my Ohio St friends who complained it was not called a fumble it should have been a dead ball anyway. Not sure if that is actually true but it stopped their complaining.
